Talking 4 Year Payoff (early)

When Kari and I were married, she drove the worst car... As newlyweds, I told her I wanted her to have a safe, reliable car. We purchased the car in January of 2003. Well, I am glad to say... It is ours.

Last payment was made on FRIDAY. Now we have one more to go, and we owe only $2,200 on it.

We will be free of car payments after June.


Not that anyone really cares, I'm just ranting to rant.

Paid off Accord FTMFW!

That's awesome. Because my wife and I are expecting, we are trying to pay off BOTH of our cars (Civic and Accord) by December of this year. We still have a combined amount of approximately $17,000 to go, but we've already been on a debt reduction plan, and an extra $200 a month will make those car payments go away.
