Congratulations on a great feat. It is really hard to have financial troubles if you have no debt.

Yep; that is a great feeling. But your not done. Since you're used to making the payments keep making them but now take the payment you've been making and pay it to yourself in the form of an investment account (or any other debt you have). You'll be really happy in a bit of time with how much cash you can accumulate!

I agree with vistavette - continue to budget the payment if you can. Mine's paid off too, but at some point there'll be another one in the picture.

Congratulations - bet you feel like a million bucks!
