<prompt> Human: This an rpersonalfinance experiment. Instead of posting individual threads for triumphant stories of how youve reached a certain net worth, paid off a loan, or other sort of bragging, lets try consolidating them into one weekly thread!Make a top-level comment if you want to brag about something regarding your personal finances!Moderators, if you like this approach and would like to try it out, could you please sticky this post?  <response>: My wife and I just paid off our my last student loan today!A little backstory, because its in my nature to have some self-defeat:On one of the first couple of days in August, I answered a call from the debt collector on my last student loan. He said I owed about 6200 on my last loan. He wanted to setup payments, but weve been really hauling ass on getting out of debt this year, so I cut him off and asked him for a payoff amount. He was kind of taken aback, but I pressed him and got an amount of 4550 about 1600 savings!, due on by the end of August. We scrimped, we saved, we sold anything and everything not nailed down the dogs were about to go on ebay!, I hustled a bunch more freelance work and pushed hard on people who had outstanding invoices. This morning, we walked into the bank and cut a cashiers check to them and its on the way to them!
