I encourage each of you to email me when you pay a bill off.  I would love to feature it on ML2S in the hopes that it will inspire other families.  We are in it together and there really is strength in numbers.

Here is an email that I got from Nicole:

“My husband and I have Student Loans, Medical Bills, and a home mortgage. We are paying off the smallest balances first & applying that monthly payment amount to the next lowest bill. We were able to pay off one of our sons medical bills! So happy to finally be down by one & be able to double pay the next lowest one! Happy day, Happy Day!”

Congrats Nicole! It feels good doesn’t it ?

If you have paid off one of your bills and would like to share your story with us, use the contact button to send me the story.  I would LOVE to hear about it.

I promised you guys lots of “get debt free” content in 2011 so here is another new feature for ML2S.  This section will function as a brag/inspiration spot.  You will be able to let us know about a bill or item that you ‘ve been able to pay off.  You can send me a picture of it and a short story of how you accomplished your goal. If you paid off a bill you can just send me the story to share with everyone.

To get us started I just happened to have paid off our LAST non-mortgage debt today.  I paid off our new furniture.  It is a leather sofa/loveseat set. It’s much prettier that it looks in the pictures and both sides of each piece have a power recliner on them.  We decided to get this set because our old set was 14 years old and needed to be replaced.  I love it that all 4 of us can sit on the sofa and be comfy under blankets watching movies.  It’s been so fun.  I think I will enjoy our next movie even better now that the furniture is officially ours.

How about you? Have you paid off a bill or item recently that you want to showcase on ML2S ? I would love to post it for everyone.  We all need all of the motivation that we can get.  Paying off debt is hard. We need as many people patting us on the back as possible.

Here is a picture of OUR paid off furniture! I only took a picture of the couch. Use your imagination for the loveseat. It looks the same only shorter he he~
