It started with paying off my car 18 months early, then it was paying off Elvis' car 42 months early, then it was any little debt we had. Eventually we became debt-free. The craving to pay, pay, pay was still there.
With no debt left to pay off, the instant gratification I felt after seeing the zero balance was a gateway. I tried to get that same high by paying off both car insurances.
The electric is pre-paid until at LEAST January 2013, the cable is ahead. I am resisting getting too far ahead on the health insurance.
The budget is written out for all of 2012. The banking accounts are set up to split the paycheck before it ever comes in.
I worked out a plan to have my car insurance paid in full... for NEXT YEAR.
So... yes, I think I have an addiction... paying off the bills before they are due.
Leave me alone... go away... I don't want help... just let me sit here with the check registry...
My precious...
