    Congratulate me... I have no debts! (except one)...

    I just paid off the last remaining debt I had today.

    Now the only debt I do have is $10K car loan which I will keep and pay in order to show I can pay shit on time.

    I got married in a shotgun style wedding at age 23. My wife became a drug addicted bitch from hell. She ran up our credit cards and caused damage to more than one apartment we lived in. Basically she ran up about $28,000 in debts before I divorced her.

    I let the shit sit there for ever and a day... I had no money to pay off that kinda debt load. No way...

    Then I became an adult webmaster and fuck... everything changed for the better. I paid off that debt and saved money (going to buy a house when the market and interest rates will feel better on my hinnie) and managed to have enough left over for some toys...

    Today I paid the remaining $4000 and I never felt better... On the 15th my credit score should go up and I will flirt with the idea of owning my first home... For now, I need to find a 5 bedroom house for rent...

    Thanks for you time and listening to my dribble...

    Peace!

                It's a nice feeling, isn't it? The only bill I have is my $1600 house payment. School loan paid off, both new cars, the bike, all paid off.

                  Yes, I could have done it quicker... But I try to keep a lot of cash available because I aquire a lot of business oriented things that need to be paid for in cash and at a moments notice... ie, when someone says, Domain sale or Selling my sites I am leaving the business...

                      Student loans are a killer. That's what I'm working on now. When I get enough together I'm going to try and just settle them for (hopefully) pennies on the dollar.

                        I paid the min on mine while I was paying off my Truck. Truck got paid for and then I paid the student loan off in the next 4 months. Nice to have it all took care of. Now it is just going to be a house payment

                                  Student loans...

                                  I never understood them... I consult on a lot of things in the industry and never went to a 4 year college. I dropped out of a 2 year when I decided making more than most doctors doesn't require me to be there.

                                  As for how to void them... A friend of mine has some MIGHTY big ones... Like $35,000 or so I believe... and you cannot claim them in a bankruptsy... BUT!... BUT you can refinance them into a personal loan and you can claim that loan... ;)

                                  I don't condone claiming bankruptsy... I think it is a pansies way of doing things... But if your loans are large... and you don't mine fucking your credit up...

                                                  I paid off my bad debt...

                                                  The 10K is good debt. I have paid that bill on time and often over the amount due... Having no debt at all is worse than having debt and paying it on time. If you have no debts what so ever you have no history and therefor nothing to gage your ability to repay a loan on.

                                                      Awesome job of sticking with it until the end. I know that has to be a huge burden lifted off of you.

                                                      Congrats!

                                                        who gives a fuck about debt. I owe several millions to various places and don't plan on ever paying ANY of it off.

                                                        Your debt is erased when you fucking die you know.

                                                          Guy is a millionaire and doesn't even have a credit score 'cause he doesn't use credit cards -- cash and debit card only.

                                                          If he wants something, he buys it.

                                                          I'm trying to get to living that path now.

                                                          Fuck credit card companies. They offer 0% when you don't need it... and 25% when you really do.

                                                          Cash is the way to go anymore.

                                                          I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

                                                            There is nothing inherently wrong with debt. But it must be managed properly. You must take a high level of responsibility for your debt and always be mindful of it.

                                                            Congrats V Rocks! That's great to hear.

For example, any extra payments I make into my home loan are effectively untaxed interest earnings, because every extra dollar offsets the interest bill. Putting it another way, by saving on the 6.82% interest bill I'm really earning more like 15% after tax.

I do see your point and agree that debt can be a tactical advantage when it comes to taxes. However, from a purely personal perspective though, nothing beats the feeling of being free of any debt. I was balls deep in grad school/school loans of $85K before 2000. After that, I resolved to stay debt-free. Should the need arise for debt-based tax protection, I'd look into the mortgage deducation scenario you raised but I prefer the sense of psychological liberation that having no debts gives me.

                                                                                            I practice that quite a bit... I learned from me pops... He is a good teacher in this kinda shit... So when I bought my used Jeep (I find it difficult to buy a new car... waste of dough...) and paid $8500 for it they wanted to collect $2700 in interest will extra long payments and bullshit...

                                                                                            So I decided I wanted to pay it off right away... Kinda a mistake because paying it off in 8 months didn't do my credit any good...

                                                                                            So I bought a used Suburban for $10,500... They eventually think they will make $4000 on me.. again, low payments over 5 years... So I decided I wanted to pay it off in 2 years... Added up the interest on one payment, then reversed the counting.... So I am counting back two years and adding interest for each payment. Then paid a few grand immediately so I can basically pay only the interest I need to in order to keep the loan alive, but not a penny more...

                                                                                            Kinda stupid really... Its like I have to PAY to get my credit back... this system is so bent in the favor of the creditor that I am now thinking my first mainstream business should be loaning money to people I know can't pay it back.

                                                                                            Comment
