I am so dang excited and feel like we can't say anything to people we know in real life, because money.
Share a money brag here. Get a raise? Buy some toy you've been really wanting? Get a screaming deal on something? Brag away here, get it out, it will feel great. Here's mine. ALL of our debt will be paid off as of Wednesday! I just scheduled the final payment. I am so excited I could burst. |

I had my choice of multiple things to eat EVERY DAY this week! Not only that, but the air in my house is cooled before it hits my skin. I have many pairs of shoes, all in good condition, and if my child gets sick, I can get into my working automobile and take him to a doctor.
It's really ridiculous how well-off I am. |

| I took a pay cut to move to a cheaper area and we love it so far. We bought a beautiful house with a mountain view that is 3 miles/10-15 minutes from my job for less than $200k and our mortgage is sub-$1k/month. We have so much more financial breathing room than we did in DC! Now I can fully pay my car off and I don't sweat the small stuff like grabbing lunch at work once or twice a week. In DC, I had to strictly bring my lunch every day, budget down to the penny and I was always stressed. |

| We are buying a new build and I chose to get a five burner stove top and quartz countertops. You cannot imagine my excitement, I feel like we have finally made it in life! |

I have a trust fund that is difficult to hide at times since no one except DH knows. People think he does really well. Or that someone, somewhere is buying my art. Lol. They probably also pity me "what will she do if he leaves her" but I make more in interest that his salary is. And I don't even use all the interest money and it goes back into the pot.

| I went to college and law school on scholarships, and my parents gave me enough to pay for my house (which is in a cheap area and I fixed it up) outright. People think I don't have any money or that I have outrageous student loan payments, because I'm really cheap (I prefer frugal), but they don't know that I don't even have a mortgage. |

I was going to post something similar! But I feel amazed that I can afford to feed my family of 4 mostly organic food every single week. |

We owe just $60,000 on our mortgage and it will be paid off in 30 months.
We have enough money in savings to send our teenagers to college without loans. We have $1.6M in retirement savings. If disaster hits tomorrow, we are going to be ok. We have worked towards this for many years with zero help from our families. It is a relief to be in this place. |

| My DH bought me a BMW with his bonus fun money. I'm embarrassed to drive it right away but not too embarrassed to tell you guys about it! |

I bought a dress for $14 when visiting family out of state. Got it on a major clearance sell at a department store we don't have here. Saw it on sale for $70 yesterday at a local department store here in DC. I am quite proud of my deal
