[…] I knock the snow off of my wellies before entering our first home; a big upgrade from the flea-infested apartment we lived in while we were saving money for our down payment. I shut off the lights and close my Macbook, giving the dogs on last cuddle before making my way down to my car, which is truly only mine. […]

[…] Before I paid off my car, I was saving aggressively. My extra income – between $1200-$1500/month – was going into various savings and investments. My car payoff was timed with some travel costs, expenses, and other financial obligations which halted my ability to save much than the automatic savings plan. […]

I’ve shared your story with my 19 y.o. daughter who unfortunately looks at the cash she can spend now by trying to stretch out the loan she currently has.

I’m hoping your story will help her see the sensibility you have shown and show her a better path…

Woo congrats on paying off your car loan! That is fantastic. I have a five year car loan out as well. The financing was super cheap and I don’t have a lot of spare cash right now. so this was the best option.

Paying off your loan in 1,5 years instead of 5 years shows a great deal of commitment and discipline. Not everyone can do that! I have a very low interest rate on my car loan (2.99%), so I am not in a hurry to pay it off, even though I add a little money to the principle every month. But ideally, I would only like to have just a mortgage payment, and that’s it! I am on the way to that goal! Thanks for sharing your success with us!
