Very true, but I implemented a different solution to the problem. I stopped waiting and started planning! When I graduated college, I skipped the ceremony (seriously, the Sunday BEFORE exams?!?) and my fiance and I threw a party. It was an awesome celebration. When he gets his credit card paid off, we'll probably throw another party (although we may not tell everyone the reason for it!) “I’ve come to realize that waiting for the big celebration is flawed thinking.”

I wrote in my getting out of debt series that the finish line is anti-climactic, don't expect a ticker tape parade. You have to find your own internal satisfaction.

I was so sick of school by then, I asked them to mail my diploma to me. The reward for me was knowing I wouldn't have to attend another class ever again, if I chose not to!
