We did it!

We sold both of our cars this weekend and were able to get a minivan in their place. We received enough for the trade ins to pay off DH's car loan (about $4900 ~ my SUV was paid off) and we got a check for a little over $500.
We are now a one car family, which presents its own challenges, but I'm thrilled that we have no car payments and more breathing room in our TIGHT budget.

Congratulations! I'm glad you made that leap and now have $5000 less debt to pay. =)
We were a one-car household for 6 years and I'm definitely noticing the difference in car upkeep, auto insurance, ad valorem tax, etc charges with two vehicles compared to one.
Hooray for no car payments!
Sincerely,

I am so jealous!
Mary, that is awesome. Doesn't it feel like a huge weight has been lifted reducing that debt by $5K? Keep up the great work.

Congrats!!! That must feel wonderful! I am determined never to walk into a dealership and buy another thing with no money down and no trade in..I have learned my lesson!
Good for you!!!
Good for you!!
Your post has me thinking again about possibly trying to sell dh's paid-off car and do the one-car thing .... but I don't know how that would work since dh doesn't have any kind of set schedule.
Maybe we could try only using the one car for a couple of weeks and see how we do ... a trial run of sorts!

That is so great!
