It always seems when I complain about something…
it resolves itself.
We received our tax refund today.
As much as I’d love the feeling of writing a check for our final payment, I’m not exactly comfortable sending a check for a few grand. So we’ll be making the payment online. But I’m tired. And baby boy just fell asleep. And…
I’m kinda avoiding it because it will mean it’s over. I’ll be all on my own… and the support from you folks will be over.
Who knows… I may continue debt writing. For now? I’m going to take a break. I’ve taken on some design side work that is pretty time consuming. But I may be back.
Don’t worry. I’m not leaving just yet. I promised you the month of February. Come rain or shine, you’ll get February.
Maybe I’ll withdrawal $4,200 from the bank and fan myself with it before mailing it all away.
Guess you’ll just have to stay tuned.

Congratulations! You should definitely start a separate blog, otherwise you will be too missed!!!
You should definitely create a personal blog. if you decided to, let us know the web address.
It’s very motivating to others to see what one does with their money and life after such a major change in financial circumstances. Maybe the owner of this blog could start a “life after debt” blog, where you and your predecessor can periodically update the readers about the changes you make.
I definitely think you should start another blog. Let us know the new address because I want to read it!
Are you going to pass the blog onto someone new? You could take “applications” or “proposals” from people and select someone to whom you can pass the baton!
@Matt — Yes, we had applications about a month ago and there is a new blogger who is in debt in the wings who will begin next month to blog away debt
Please do start another blog. I’m too invested in your life now. LOL
And super big congrats again. If it were me I totally would take the cash out and roll around in it a la Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal. hee hee…fun to think about anyways!!
Congratuatlions on acheiving this goal. You’ve accomplished this milestone at such a young age. Now with a new baby you have a whole new world ahead of you. There will still be a load of budgeting to do and planning for this lil one’s future (and the future siblings. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Waiting always seems to be the worst part of tax refund time. I think it’s because in the back of our minds we have this thought that maybe we did something wrong and they aren’t really going to be sending us all that money.
Congratulations again and I agree with others that you should definitely start a personal, life after debt blog. The decisions you make now are probably more important than the ones you were making to get out of debt.
Congratulations!!!!
MAKE IT RAAAAAAIIINNNN!!!!! Then promptly sweep it all up and pay your last bill!
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you Beks! You were my inspiration to start my own blog! Congrats again!
Congrats, Beks!!! I’m proud of you!!
@ Anonymous Reader – I’ll be posting a long overdue update on our life after credit card debt tomorrow.
Congratulations on paying off your debt. That is a huge accomplishment.
Congratulation. I am going to miss your writing.
good deal for you! i still have a long way to go…
lol! to the thought of watching you fan yourself with your $4,200 hahaha!!
you need to create a separate blog ‘coz you’ll surely be missed!
Jealous! We are waiting for our return to be debt free too! Our taxes were sent in about a week before yours, but the return is still mia. Waiting is the worst!
Congrats!
CONGRATS!
I hope your successor will provide as much inspiration as and many laughs as you have. Thank you….and HUGE congratulations.
Noooo!
I’m selfish and sad that you’re out of debt. Will miss your writing for sure!! Congratulations!
So proud of you, you’re a massive inspiration to me- I check every day to see if there’s an update. If you choose to continue blogging, I’d happily continue reading, but if not good luck with your future!
The perfect farewell!
Oh my goodness! Congratulations! I’ll imagine you and yours doing the “We’re debt freeee!” yell!
All best to you.
I should mention the kind gentleman who owns this website has offered to set me up with another ‘life after debt’ sort of site but I’ve turned him down – for now anyway. I put a little too much on my plate with other work and it’s turned into a time problem. But I have a feeling a will be back sooner rather than later. I’d miss you folks too much!
Thanks for all the kind words!
Congratulations Beks! You should be filled with pride at your awesome accomplishment!!!
You will be very missed. I hope you do someday resume blogging; you are a great writer, hilarious, fun, and knowledgeable.
