Student Loans

We did it.

My wife shared her experience when we got married that she'd been flush with cash and then sunk it all on my loans when I finished law school. That's true. I like to think it was a pretty good investment, even if it's now only starting to give a good return.

We paid off the last loan this week. I guess I should thank the government for having programs in place to help students cope with the astronomical costs of little pieces of paper that say I worked really hard in school. But still, take that, government! I don't owe you anything more than the similarly astronomical taxes I owe every year. Wait. That's not as awesome. Well, I guess I owe the government a little less.

We went to Red Robin in celebration. I think the kids like the balloons more than the food, but I enjoyed that burger.

Now it's time for the house....and the car....and.....sigh. Still, eleven years of work has paid off, literally. Getting out of debt is awesome.
