But when he sold his first house and moved to a new home he made enough on that sale that he was able to pay the rest of those loans off in one whack. He is loving the freedom of being done with the payments. He shares the great advice to celebrate not only the big milestones but the small ones too like when you get the chance to put an extra few thousand dollars towards your loans.
