Okay: I gotta boast a wee bit

I'm not sure that this really needs to be posted in public. But you are all our friends and wanted to share.

About 4-1/2 years ago, Susan and I realized that our debt had become unmanagable for us (over $26,000 in unsecurred debt). Instead of filing for bankruptcy, we signed up with Springboard, a non-profit debt counseling service. They worked out payment plans with our creditors and put us on a budget.

I am very happy to say that recently we made our last payment (it was $540 a month) and last week we received our "congratulations: you did it!" letter.

One huge-assed monkey off our backs!

Congratulations on your fiscal responsibility! That is a very difficult thing to do.

Yes, but don't forget this can be searched by anyone on the net!

Congrats! That is a big deal! In a day and age where our society tells everyone to go SPEND, SPEND, SPEND! And use those high interest rate credit cards!

And now that you're finally out of debt, you can afford to spend spend spend again!
