    Guess what!! I’m debt free! I had some savings and realized it was more than my debt. So I decided to pay off my debt. I could have waited until my next paycheck, because now I only have a small amount of money in the bank until my next paycheck, but that entire next paycheck is just for me!!
    In 6 months I paid off 16,000 of student loans. 12 months ago it was 26,000 but I made a lump payment at the start with the money I had leftover in the bank from taking out more student loans than I needed. Thankfully I didn’t use it all. Over 65% of my expenses in 2018 have been toward my student loan. Now I’ll have all that money to save and treat myself occasionally. Thank you for encouraging me to be frugal so I could pay off my debt quickly.

    Taco soup is so good! I use corn chips (i.e., Fritos, although generic brands) rather than tortilla chips. I like it that way. Yum! I need to make it again.
