A very happy holiday...

So, last week, my wife and I paid down our last interest-bearing credit card to zero. Zero! It felt fantastic - I wanted to go out and celebrate. Our left-over debt is either without interest - god bless you, 0% home depot charge - or it's secured by a piece of land, such as the two mortgages on our house and the one on Trixii's. Happily enough, the rent on the property covers that mortgage, so we don't have to worry about it, usually.

Of course, he's about a month behind on his rent, but that's because of the usual 'new job' thing - you don't get paid when you start working, you get paid two or four months later. Hopefully in a few days he'll be dropping us a payment for November and December...

Still, this is more debt-free than I've been for a while. We'd been working to pay down the last credit card, so most of that payment is going to go into savings and paying down the 2nd mortgage next - it's got the highest rate, so we'd like to get it down faster.

Aside from that, life's good. I went out today and picked up some comics for myself and a first few gifts for wife and family - I'll need to pick up more soon, but I really need to sit down and figure out what to get for whom... I'm not great at picking out gifts, unfortunately. Just going to have to sit down and pick something out, I guess.

Anime finds of the week: Gakuen Alice and Rocket Girls.
