Made the last payment on the Cabota and am now totally debt free. No mortgage, no credit card debt, no car/motorcycle/truck/tractor payments. This is the second time in my life I can say that.

Should be able to stay that way for a good while. 2012 car with 36K miles. 2013 truck with 55K miles. 2015 Tractor with 450 hours. 2016 motorcycle with 16k miles.

Bike and tractor are almost certainly the last of those sort of vehicles I'll ever buy.

Car and truck are easily good for another 10 years and by then I probably won't bother to replace the truck.

Of course, the Universe is aware of this sort of thing...




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Congratulations! that is awesome. I am headed that way myself. I still owe on a couple of toys. But I'm hoping this next calf crop will pay them off.
and yes, like you, it seems the Universe knows when I have an extra dollar or two.

I envy you. A great time to be debt free. We only have a mortgage and about 8 mos left on a car loan.

We've been debt free for 12 years now and don't have any assets in the market. It's a great feeling.

Good job Paul!


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Fantastic feeling aint it??? Congrats!

I can't even remember the last time I owed anyone money, decades ago, but the relief and satisfaction always remain!

Now get cracking on a Dave Ramsey 6 month emergency fund... If it applies to your situation.

Outstanding. It takes a lot of long term planning to become debt free. We basically spent 40 years working to pay off a house. 3 job transfers complicated this. While retirement doesn’t exactly sneak up on you, it came fast for us.
