How to celebrate being debt free?

26 comments

1. Hold a party in a 5 star hotel and invite everyone you know and buy the most expensive cakes and champagne they have.

2. Take a self care day. I’m talking about sauna, massage, good food. It really boosts your moral and is pretty affordable. My last selfcare day with my wife was about $500-600. If it’s just you I imagine you could do a self care day for a couple hundred bucks.

3. Take the money you were using to pay down debt and invest it. Now is not the time to start spending more because you can. You’ve gotten used to spending less, keep it up.

4. How about something really sexy – a start of roth retirement account, and go a little crazy and buy some gold.

   then if you have some money left over – some beer and BBQ with the friends.

   edit – take care of your long term retirement, and savings. Before short term enjoyment because social security is not going to exist at this pace.

5. **SAVE.**

   save and go on a big trip

6. Lambo

7. Maxing out the credit card.

8. Buy yourself something premium that lasts. A watch, a leather jacket, whatever but make it a quality lifetime gift to yourself.

9. Get a payday loan

10. Get a tattoo instead

11. Bottle of Pappy.

    But then stay focused on being debt free.

12. Open an investment account.

13. Call Dave Ramsey and scream I’m DEBT FREE!!!

14. How did you do it? I’m $50k in the hole and want to die lol

15. A quiet late night drive with your favorite drink (whatever it may be)

16. New car

17. By getting a brand new car!

18. Just an FYI once you are debt free your credit score will drop. It’s stupid but that’s how it works. Whenever you know you’ll need a higher score find something you genuinely need and out it on a 0% no interest plan if possible and your score will go up usually within a month. After the credit check pay it back off.

19. Pat yourself on the back. Promise to never do it again. Build up a decent savings then invest

20. My goto for financial victories is a bottle of rootbeer and/or a snickers bar. One time I paid off all my debt and bought a fuckin tuxedo …instant regret and lesson learned.

21. Finance a car

22. Spend 20000 dollars!

23. Go to a rave

24. Hookers and Blow

25. Take the money you were putting towards debt and save it! If you can save $20,000 chances are you will never need to borrow money again!

    Me personally, I would celebrate with a really good meal, I’m talking filet mignon and lobster!

    Congrats!!!!! I am working on it myself!

26. I’d get that thing you’ve denied yourself. Even if it’s a mars bar.
