I paid off my college loan over a decade ago. Really working to eliminate any debt otherwise, too. Only have a mortgage, $50K to go. No credit card debt, no auto loan.

I guess I’m a sucker and a fool. My gut tells me to rid myself of it though, strongly, so that’s what I’m doing.

I guess I’m a sucker and a fool. My gut tells me to rid myself of it though, strongly, so that’s what I’m doing.Even being essentially debt-free, I have concerns for my and the wife's future due to all the uncertainty and the fact that I moved all my retirement investments into money markets a while ago to protect the principle when the market trashes again - can't afford a third hit.

Right now, the math says we'll be OK, but will have to curb a lot of discretionary spending - the math may change.....
