Sweet! Being out of debt is always a good feeling. It makes you want to go on a spending spree, unfortunately. I tend to undercut that feeling by going to stores like the Sharper Image to look at their frivolous merchandise and say, "you know, I can buy that combination toilet bowl scrubber-ear wax scoop if I really wanted to. I don't, because it's nasty, but I could."

By the way--totally off-topic--I'm thinking of moving to Seattle after the New Year. What are the "good" neighborhoods to move into (my experience with Seattle is nil, and I'm used to Pennsylvania mentalities of "bad" neighborhoods, which means more than two Democratic households per city block).
