Just a quick post today to tell you some very exciting news. I can’t believe I’m about to type out this sentence:

We owe less than $10,000 on Tom’s student loans. 

Remember when we started out with over $180,000 in loans? That was less than 7 years ago!

Check out this loan application we had to sign when we bought our first house in 2010.

We had $175,456 in student loans the day we signed for our house.

And now we are down to the very last bit. I never thought I’d say that $10,000 seems like a tiny number, but it does!

Did you see this picture I posted on Facebook? Tom took a screen shot when we paid off one of his loans. I love seeing that zero balance!

I just want to remind you that you can live comfortably while paying off debt. It’s all about your mindset!

This is a quick post because we are at Disney today (for free)! Yay. If you aren’t already following me on social media, start now. I’ll be posting a bunch of pictures from our trip. Follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to see what we are up to in Orlando. Did you check out our pictures of SeaWorld yesterday?

Thanks for letting me celebrate our small loan victory! What are you celebrating today?
