I'm not sure this counts but paid off all the cars, credit card, and medical debt. Only the mortgage left. Paying bills has never been this easy! And all the extra cash is pretty great too.

Nice! A paid off car is like having a rich forgetful relative that sends birthday cash, but every month.

Source: I have one of these two things, but I bet it's nice to have rich relatives, too.

I'd love to have rich relatives too! How do we make that happen?

Make a shit load of money, then give it to your relatives.

Absolutely counts - you purchased freedom, and flexibility. Those might be the most valuable things a person can spend money on, IMHO.
