Debt Freedom Rocks
I just wanted to give a quick shout out to J.D. over at GetRichSlowly… After spending the past 20 years in debt, he just wrote his last check and is finally out of debt. Be sure to stop by and read how he did it.
Edit to add: Leo at ZenHabits just got out of debt, too. Very cool.
