Breathing easy (well, easier)

barbara

Sometimes there is no better feeling than arriving home after a long day at work. Just entering my house, I often breathe a bit easier.

On my arrival home last week (after greeting Bill and supplying her dinner, of course), I grabbed the mail and plopped down on my couch to sort the "keep" (mail I need/want) from the "shred" (junk mail o' plenty).

Included in the pile was my bill from Nebraska Furniture Mart Click here to learn about third-party website links — that's where I purchased my living room furniture and later a kitchen table, both of which were financed at 0% interest for a set number of months. As I opened the envelope and read through the detailed statement, I realized: I'm sitting on something that I own.

What's a better feeling than the first step into your home after a long day at work? Paying something off. Removing a debt. Owning a large item outright. It's an awesome feeling. This furniture is completely mine — no more $100 a month from my budget!

Which brings me to another great thing about paying off one debt: more money to throw at other debt. Snowblower, anyone? (BTW, that's also at 0% interest!)

So what could possibly feel better than paying something off? I'm happy to say I know the answer to that, too! Buying something you've saved for. No financing needed.

I'll talk about my big purchase in another post soon...stay tuned!
