Did you keep any money in savings or apply it all to your loans? How long did it take you to become completely debt-free ... specifically to pay off your student loans and car loans? Thanks!!

We are fortunate that at a relatively early age we are free of debt, save for a small amount "owned" by our business that is secured on assets well away from anything personal. Having a business debt in France makes a lot of sense for the tax regimes but personal debt here is strictly controlled and difficult to come by. I used to think that that was short-sighted and just bad buisness sense when the rest of the world seemed to be enjoying consumer led booming growth. Now I see that they might have a point...

We are in the process of paying off our debts, and at our current rate will just have the house left in another year. I like the idea of living simply like you do, but my husband is not quite there yet. I am patient though. someday! Thanks for the neat story, it is encouraging to read about people who have gone where we want to go!
