No more debt. &nbsp;Next week I will check my bank online to see if my balance is zero. I have a car loan that needs the same treatment.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Next there is the owner of my office building. &nbsp;Not only does he charge too much for my lease, his ugly picture is on my building.
