YOU are AMAZING! I love reading about your debt-busting triumphs. You are so inspiring. I am happily student-loan-debt FREE at age 24 and am now working on my car loan and (in the long run) mortgage.

My fiance and I bought a run down house in 2009 for 229k and put 60k of work into it over 4 months…Now a year later, it was appraised at 354k. We are floored! Hopefully we will sell in 2-3 years when the market climbs a little higher.

Anyway, I look forward to reading your blog (and scrolling through the archives). You’re an amazing and tenacious person!

Merry Christmas!

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Jamison- We’re so close to paying it off and the interest’s tax deductibility wasn’t fantastic, so we decided to knock that out first. We bought the car last August and hadn’t planned on getting a new car.

Isn’t the interest from a student deductible indefinitely below a certain income level, while you get nothing for the car loan? Why not focus everything on the car loan first?

Having a paid off car is one of the most wonderful feelings (besides having a paid off home). I paid off my car last year and I never want another car payment again!!
