Woohoo!

I bought my car on March 27,  2007, after my hand-me-down from my mother car was totaled when a #$%# rear-ended me.  At the time, I took out a five year loan, but aimed t pay it off in two and a half years.  In the meanwhile, a refinanced my car in 2008, with a four year loan at a fraction of the original loan’s percentage rate, as no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition.  Today, on September 29, 2009, I paid off my car!  I just logged onto my credit union account, and bam-no more loan listed among my account.  Yippee!  Now, I’ll start putting more money either towards my student loanor into my Roth

    H! That is so awesome! We bought our truck a few months after you, and we are almost there as well. I can’t WAIT to kiss that payment goodbye.

    Congratulations!

    Congrats on paying off the car! I think you should try to put the money towards your Roth.
