I just relieved myself!

DW and I retired 1 1/2 years ago and the we paid off everything except her car loan because it was at 3.75%. I got a bug today to pay it off and for the 1st time in 36 years of marriage we are totaly debt free.

How is that?

Great, although from the thread title I assumed this had something to do with Ex Lax.

True. The only better feeling is owing someone something that you know you won't have to repay.

It is. Now if I can figure out a way to not pay real estate taxes and condo fees, I'd be in heaven.

I'm always surprised how the effects of a market downdraft affect some people.

Cash, sounds like you're willing to pay my taxes and fees. Please send cashier's checks only.
