Today I made my second to last car payment!  I bought my Toyota Celica almost 5 years ago and have had a payment of $220 on the 25th of every month ever since!  I am extremely proud of myself!  I have never made a late payment throughout these 5 years, and I am now at the end and will be getting the title to my car!  Woot woot!  My very first paid for car, y'all!!!!!

That's awesome!! Congrats! I have 2 payments left on mine!!
Melissa J Mar 25, 2009, 4:45pm EDT
Awesome!! It's a great feeling, isn't it? We paid off our Toyota Corolla 2 months ago and it is sweeetttt to have an extra $374 a month. Huge payment, I know, but we traded in another car that was very upside down in equity.
Awesome, what a great feeling!
Netty B. Mar 25, 2009, 4:49pm EDT
That is SOOO exciting, I am very happy for you!

I was fortunate that I was able to pay cash for the last 2 vehicles I owned.
Elle L. Mar 25, 2009, 5:01pm EDT
That is so exciting, I remember paying off my first car, it was great! Then about 6 months later I realized I "own" an old car and wanted a new one! lol!

That's wonderful. I paid off my current car almost 2 years ago. I usually never keep a car this long, but since it only has 61K miles, I figure why not. I like NOT having a car payment too much.
Renee S. Mar 25, 2009, 5:34pm EDT
Congratulations! It will feel so good to get that title in you hands.
Melanie B. Mar 25, 2009, 5:37pm EDT
Yay! congratulations. feels oh so good doesn't it? =)

Victoria H. Mar 25, 2009, 9:24pm EDT
That's awesome!!! Congratulations! I can't wait until I make the last payment on ours. We just bought it a couple months ago so many payments are left.
Alexis Newell Mar 25, 2009, 11:10pm EDT

speeding by from comment speedway, hoping to help you towards your gather goal!

Congrats! It's such a wonderful feeling, isn't it? We paid ours off in October. Now we can't figure out where we had the money to make the payments because everything else has gone up quickly taking up that extra money.
Sandy C. Mar 27, 2009, 10:29am EDT
Congrats that is wonderful.
carolyn b. Mar 27, 2009, 10:31am EDT

Congratulations! May it continue to run worry free for the next five years or more.
Missy Cline Mar 28, 2009, 7:59am EDT
YAY!!!!!
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Mar 29, 2009, 7:35pm EDT
That's great, Jessica. I second what Kelly said about hoping it will continue to run worry-free for the next five years or more.
That's a good feeling, isn't it?

I'd recommend putting the money towards other debts now, to clear them faster!
