You are truly a frugal inspiration — thanks for this great blog! As for the prepayment penalty tip, how incredible is that? I (and likely so many others) would have never thought to pay the balance *nearly* off, leaving a tiny amount on which to be penalized. So smart, and so frugal!!

That is so exciting Kacie! What a relief it will be to have one huge debt gone. I cannot wait until we are in the same boat.

Thanks everyone! It’s been a long time coming.

We’re only saving about $300 in interest, since most of the interest has already been paid. But still, $300 is $300! And, not having to make that payment anymore will free up $277 per month that we can put to better use.
