Remind me to give you two benzos (tranquilizers) for flying. One for each way.

Hello Holly,

I really enjoy reading your discussions. You are an amazing thinker and writer !

Congratulations on paying off your loan. My only thought on your strategy is focusing payments on the lowest interest loan first may allow you to reach your overall goal a bit quicker.

Again, Congratulations !!!

That should have been the highest interest loan of course. Ugh on my part.

Good plan on the loans. That's what I did starting about 12 years ago, and I've been debt-free (Praise God) for at least 8 or 9 years. No mortgage, no car loan, just monthly credit card bills, paid each month to maintain a no-balance state.

My second wife wanted to get me to debt-free status, and she almost succeeded before she passed. I did pay off the car loan with help from her estate.

Enjoy your time off.

When you get back I hope you tell us about where you went and what you did while "unplugging."

I’m not saying that I know this will be a problem for you. But I would not be surprised if the TSA were to confiscate any pencils or similar “potential weapons” which are not less than 3 inches long.
