Susan has a point. Student loans and mortgage payments, while incurring interest, do provide a nice tax write-off for those able to utilize the deductions. It is only when you get into a higher tax bracket that things change.

Tricia: You know you can pay off your debt. I suspect you don’t want to stop writing the blog. Why don’t you next address student debt and paying off your home. Of course you will need to consider the tax situation of deducting interest for student loans and mortgage. You wouldn’t want to find that all of your savings goes to taxes. Congratulations on all of your hard work. Best wishes, Susan

That is awesome. I have been watching you rdebt reduction without commenting for a while, but wanted to now. I would be so tempted to pay it off now, but you have to do what is best for your family. It is such a strange feeling when you finally do. Not so much exciting, but unbelievable. Congrats!

You’re inching towards the goal. I was a “lurker” for a long time and I can tell you that I am excited for you. Really.
