Because I can solve the problem in my head. I can solve the problem in theory. And I can even work it out on paper with formulas and make it color coordinated. And it makes it feel so simple and accomplishable. Even though when I look at my spreadsheet, we're not debt-free from just cards. Again, not including my student loans. We're not debt-free until... almost 2027 doing our debt snowball.

And that's if we do it perfectly and nothing happens. So even though that's like a very future distant success of being debt-free, I think there's something satisfying about the fact that I can see it on the paper when it finally hits zero.
