Awesome man! Congrats!!

 

I will be there...and I'll be bringing a bottle of bourbon

 

Congrats, that is true freedom.


I didn't know how to answer the poll because I have money in the bank to pay it off, but I decided to take a 2.49% loan on the car anyway to have the convenience of keeping my cash in the bank.

 

I only paid a hair over $800 in interest since I bought it too...I'm cool with that.

 

Not to redirect the thread, but thanks. Just think of all the mods one can buy, or maybe even pay cash for new cars, if not paying all that interest.

My best car loan experience dates back 21 years and picking up the Tiger; I was much younger then and didn't have $12K sitting in the checking account. My father-in-law said Here, take the money, pay it back when you can... or not if you don't want to. We made a point of paying it back. Very cool in-laws and yes, I did let him drive the car.

 

I paid mine off in 3 yrs. All my cars are paid off also, we have 3 yrs left to pay on a 15 yr mortgage which feels awesome. Unfortunately my wife wants a new house so we're building another one on our property so looks like I'm back in for another 15 (which we'll pay off early too!).

 

 

Congratulations! It feels nice to have weight off your shoulders.

 

Feels grt congrats , the only thing I have payments on is my house ...better to invest in my retirement than a mortgage any day of the week,year or period !!! ..........at rates today its CRAZY to pay off any MORTGAGE back on topic ....cars are fun , better when paid off "more money for mods " ...but before you pay off any car be sure to fully fund any retirement plans you have ...that will give money for mods ..for life

 

I was able to pay mine off in November thanks to work. It's been nice not having that payment every month!
