After you have tackled your debts head-on and paid them off, make sure you take time to reward yourself!

Here are five low-cost ways to treat yourself:

Grab a mocha from your favorite coffee shop, find a bench where there are lots of passers-by and watch people.

Rent a DVD and enjoy a quality movie!

Take a long, hot bath.

Turn off your cell phone for an hour and take a nap.

Write “PAID IN FULL” across the original loan or credit card document and put it in a simple frame. Display it in your home office or the area where you usually sit down to pay your bills.

The greatest reward, of course, is a good night’s sleep—knowing your debts are paid!
