I am just happy to be making monthly payments on mine and getting the number down from undergrad loans, but as I start making more in the future, I really do want to pay them down faster.

This is definitely such, such exciting news!!<br /><br />At the rate I'm paying my loans I still have about 4 years before their completely paid off. That would mean I paid off my grad student loans about a year early, and my undergrad loans about 6 years early. But I'm sure that I'll need to cut back on the amount I put towards my loans with the baby coming, so I guess we'll see. But given that I put pretty much all my extra money towards them, the idea of having so much extra money once they're gone is a little unbelievable!Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-3979440719882138622014-07-23T12:50:47.495-05:002014-07-23T12:50:47.495-05:00Any debt is bad debt!

We make a ton more money than we did starting out but we try to only spend like we did back then, so we pay a double mortgage payment so that it will be paid off in 2020. We also used to do a double car payment on my husband's truck after we paid off my car payment and one of his student loans. And sadly after we pay off my loans we may even put more on the mortgage ha. We like it allll to be gone. Or perhaps we will pay my car of early. But yeah, all that extra money always goes to savings or something else. But it's nice to know that if for some reason we got into a bund we could stop putting double towards our mortgage and have that money available plus the stuff in savings!The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-26871190102457746432014-07-22T12:20:37.904-05:002014-07-22T12:20:37.904-05:00Amazing!

I know how much those student loans were weighing you down! <br /><br />We are debt free other than our mortgage right now but we are going to be purchasing a truck VERY soon. We have a specific budget in mind for this purchase that means we can have it paid off in two years if we aggressively pay for it. Then our next goal will be to buy a house, so another mortgage. I doubt we will be free of mortgages until we are a lot older, but for now I will just be happy keeping other debt to a minimum!

Awesome! <br /><br />I'm going to sound like Dave Ramsey here, but financial freedom is one of the most rewarding feelings ever! (I don't think I'd be in "financial freedom" if it weren't for my prudent "CFO", however) ;)<br /><br />Any ideas on your reward vacation?? France? Machu Picchu?

That is awesome :-) A financial goal that we are working toward is to pay off the mortgage within the next 20 years, and to have a cheap retirement property in somewhere like Las Vegas paid off in about half of that time. We've found some nice homes for about $20,000 in Vegas!!!!
