I just paid my last car payment!

Next car will be cash only and used.

Dave’s plan works for us.

Congratulations. Getting the car paid is one thing but making a change of life style is terrific.

I’ve go tot pay off the boat and the house (both gone by 5/18) and then I’m free. I’m doing some repairs/upgrades on the house now (siding) and paying as I go. It may look a little funny for a bit but it doesn’t add any debt!!

BTW, I absolutely love your username and signature. Way back when I used to play D&D the towns’ librarians were ALWAYS named Conan.

Having no car payment is great - I haven't had one in several years.

My friend up in Ohio went through almost a year of unemployment. Fortunately, prior to being laid off, he paid off his truck. The lack of a $400+ payment each month was instrumental in him keeping his head above water.

FYI, we did the same last year and then cut the car payment in half and put half towards a future car fund and half back towards the family budget. When you need another car, you get your trade in value plus the cash you carry. Just an idea.

No house note and no car payments since last month. Also no credit cards. Still not much money yet, but doing better every week now.
