Where I've been, the struggle, where I'm at now. I'm sitting there realizing that every single thing that surrounds me, every splinter, every tool, every grease spot. I own! I've bought and paid for it all. I have no debt (when it comes to the shop) and very little debt after the shop. I owe few anything and I owe most nothing. A great place to be in life and I've struggled to get here. It feels good! I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

My wife and I haven't had any debt in 30 years and once when I tried to rent a car in the states they told me I couldn't because of my poor credit score. Funny. Congrats to you Finster.... it is a good feeling. Pete

It's a freeing feeling. I haven't made a car payment since 1985. I have a home mortgage and a second property mortgage that's about to be paid off. I have no idea what my credit score is and couldn't care less. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

When I paid my debt off my score dropped 40-60 points depending which system you looked into. People ask me how I bought a house while being on ssi. I tell them I have 0 debt and good credit. 1 credit card is mainly used for auto insurance so that's paid off right away. The other card is used for "big purchases" and I pay it off within a week. That credit card gives purchases a 5 year warranty automatically so I don't buy extended warranty.
