Waiting
2 months ago
I am waiting to do this and to get my passport because my name is changing when I get married. My license expires next summer, so after I get married in February, I’ll get a new one and get my passport too.

How I did it: Today I officially payed of my student loan, and all my credit card balances are at zero! Aside from my loan I never really had major debt to begin with.
