Milestone - car under $14,000!

In January I still owed over $15,000 on my Jeep. I just called to see how much progress in six months and now I am in the $13,000 range! Yes, $13,958, but still UNDER $14,000! Love those milestones. Of course I wish this was closer to under the 10k mark, but it started at over $22k. (I rolled over an upside down loan in. ouch. bad move) I am still celebrating though. :)

That's terrific! Good for you! It takes real perseverance to make progress over the long haul, and you're doing it! You must be so proud. Keep it up!

Thanks everyone! It does feel good. I keep hearing about Dave Ramsey's book and I need to read it. I thought about selling the jeep and getting something cheaper because I hear he says no car payment, but its a great vehicle and I rolled an upside loan into it and its still doable. So, I owe about what it is worth and it will be paid off in under 3 years. Its a 2003 with 37,000 miles on it and once its paid in full, it will have 80,000. I thought about being car free altogether but I do need a vehicle to get home to family a few times a month. In the future I won't have a car loan again I know that!

Is the car loan one you are sending snowflakes to?
