Car paid off!

    I am so happy, we have officially gotten my 2004 Subaru Forrester paid off! The goal was to have it paid off within a year, and since we bought it on Jun 21 last year, we just made it! We are still working on rebuilding our credit so we had a pretty high interest rate, even with a cosigner, but hopefully this will help our score a little. We paid just over $7000 (I knew what I wanted and waited until I found an expectional deal on craigslist, had it checked by a mechanic obvisouly, then offered a little less than asking as I always do). We were able to pay it off by putting all those little unexpected extras towards it (like when you get a rebate from something or find an extra $100 in your budget, etc.) Every little bit counts. We also put some of our income return towards it (not all because we had other bills to pay off and needed to inflate our savings a little). This is a happy day! Next is the house (our last house payment will be in october as we are putting everything extra richard is making being deployed towards that) then all we have left are those pesky student loans!
