Awesome! Congratulations, matildaben. It's a great feeling.

/should have student loan paid off by the end of the year. Credit card debt and student loan gone in 2 years!

Nice. It happened for me this past July, and it's been like some great new lover. (Ok, not that good, but nice.)

Congrats mats! (Hey, that rhymes!)

I haven't had a car payment in years, and I am so not looking forward to buying a new car.

WHOOO! That's great. I just got my first car with a payment this December. It makes a big difference. Congratulations!

My student loan still has a couple of years left on it, unfortunately.

Huh. I was thinking that you paid off your car to do some dirty deed for you or to keep a secret. Congrats on the debt removal.

My god, I can't wait to be done with the car payment. I'm going to drive that Honda until it rots. Fortunately, that shouldn't be for a long, long time. 'grats and all to you!

Sweet, sweet freedom. Congrats, matildaben!

Awesome Matildaben! I love not having a car payment, and I plan on driving my Honda CRV forever. Well, at least until it or I die.

The interest rate on my car loan, made while I was younger with absolutely no credit history, is atrocious. I decided this month to start paying it down, since the interest payments will be almost a quarter the cost of the car by the time I'm done paying them! I think I'm going to save up money for my next car, rather than take a loan, which means I'll be driving this car for at least 10 years!

muddgirl, may I ask?

I'll share my horror story. Years ago when my credit was wreaked I needed a car and wound up paying 25.88% interest. It effectively doubled the cost of the car.

I hope it's not that bad for you.

Hooray matildaben!! I still have a year to go!
