After 6 years I finally made the last payment on the Corvette. Feels good to get it paid off before the holidays arrive. Now for Santa to bring some mods.

Congrats!

Now, put the money you would be spending on the payment in an account, so in a few years you can buy the next one with cash. Now that is a good feeling.

Good for you!! We just sold our farm using the 1031 format so I have to wait 45 days by law to get my money. But when I do, I'm paying mine off too. Looking forward to speedy 45 days. Enjoy driving with NO payments!!
