Usually this time of year I am bugging out my head eagerly awaiting all my tax documents so I can do my taxes. Not this year.
What's the difference? Well, I thought about it and I think its because this is the first year that I'm not desperate to get my hands on some dough. Every year I can't wait to get my T4's and other documents so that I can cash in. I usually have the money ear marked before I even have it in my hands.
Its made me realize how much more secure I feel with a few bucks in the bank and no debt looming over my head. A lot of times I am disappointed I never had that big WOOHOO moment when I paid off my debt. Heck, I haven't even written my blog post on it yet. Today though it hit me that this feeling of ease is the real pay off. I have been impacted in ways that I'm just discovering now.
If you are still in debt I really urge you to make the commitment and prioritize your finances to get that monkey off your back. I think you'll see a lot of change in your life. Best of all you'll have security and more confidence in yourself. I know its had a big effect on me personally.

WOW! Thats so great you have paid off all your debts! I can't believe you're not more excited about it, although seeing as its one of those intangible things, it probably hasn't really sunk in yet. I too eagerly await tax season! I know you're not supposed to let them take too much tax because its money thats not doing you any good, but my work schedule is always so weird that I end up getting thousands back some how. CAN'T WAIT! One more month....
So what are you going to do with your refund?!
If I get a refund I'm going to most likely add it to the Australia fund. I need to show proof of having $5000 when I apply for my Visa in July and I just found that out so I'm even more anxious to save!
Hello Dolly Iris,
As a fellow money (miser) saver I have followed your blog for a little while now.
So I have a little offer for you.
The company I work for would ;like to pay you to put a text link to a credit card site on your blog. I have not seen any other deals already. But would love to make you an offer anyhow, I’m sure we can come up with some good terms?!
The website is called creditcardmenu.com and we will be launching a new fantastic looking credit card review and comparison service which is free to our customers; advertising with sites like your should be great for our profile.
So let the bartering begin??!

Arual- Everything is ok. Thanks for checking in on me. I will write soon. I need to catch up on your blog too!
Miss u!!
Hi Dolly,
I knew I hadn't been able to find an exact debt-free post - you gotta do that, girl!
I admit though, it's more a calmness, than a woohoo moment.
I was surprised how non-elated I felt but i think its because there's a realisation that there's a lot more work to do before you can relax, certainly a lot more than i thought there would be when i first started this blog!
