Nope. I just bought the truck this time LAST year. 2008 Ford Escape with very low mileage. (I only have 42K on it as of now...) I love it! I had a decent down payment, but let them finance the rest because I needed to ‘get back in the game’ post-divorce, and they gave me 2.9% financing.
My FICO is top of the line...and my only debt now is my farm mortgage...ALSO due to the divorce because I bought him out; rewarding him for his bad behavior. But, it’ll pay off as I’m in one of those ‘golden’ areas where my farm has appreciated in value since I bought it in 1993, and my taxes aren’t out of line, either.
I WAS going to be debt free and retired by 55, but that’s not looking like a possibility now. However, I have a very good job and a good attitude which takes you places. ;)
But, who knows what is ‘round the next bend? I’m due for some Good Luck. :)
Anyhow, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ with it. :)
Great sunny attitude, does this old heart good to hear it.
Plus, at under 55, you’re still a kid.
