My name is Anna Newell Jones. I used to have a ton of debt and now I have none. Through the Spending Fast process I've become a getting (and staying) out of debt pro. I can show you how to do it too!

    Anna,

    That is amazing. It's hard to believe it when it actually happens, isn't it? Congratulations!

    That is freaking sweet! We paid off three credit cards this month and are about to send $1500 to the BIG one. If I can get that paid off, then I can start working on the student loan. Yay tax refund, which made this possible. It's so nice to see a few zero balances and it would be incredible to get rid of 10 year old student loan debt. Those minimum payments are ALL going to interest, still.

    Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. You are a true inspiration!

    Oh Anna, I talk about you and the Spending Fast to my friends all the time, and I call you my hero...that might seem kind of lame, but it's the truth! So congratulations on this milestone--thanks for bringing us with you on this journey, and for sharing your experiences with us! You give me hope, you really do. :)

    There is NOTHING like that feeling of not owing money. Especially when it's been hanging over your head and affecting relationships for so many years. Congratulations!

    Wow - I'm feeling very proud for you! Isn't it nice to know first hand that anything can be accomplished when you have passion and set you mind to just getting it done? Great Job - well done - pat on the back and all that rubbish ;)

    Congrats! Are you going to tackle the mortgage next?

    I was inspired by you to sit down and take a good hard look at our debts. I made a plan, and in one year we'll have them all paid off except the mortgage. Two years after that we could have our mortgage paid off (in just under 10 years!) if we put all the money towards that. The thought of being 33 years old and mortgage free is incredible!!

    You are amazing!

    Hi Carrie On,

    No mortgage here (sold the house in April). Renting now.

    So Totally debt free!

    That'd be awesome to be 33 and have mortg. paid off too! You can do it!

    thank you jerome!
