Ellie,

There's something about not having a monthly car payment that makes ya feel GREAT!!!!!!!! My car's been paid off for over 2 years and it's wonderful. My insurance is cheaper, the taxes are cheaper. The only downside is that once the car is paid off and the warranty has expired, things start going on the car. But ya know what?? That's okay. I'd rather pay here and there to keep my car running as opposed to sticker shock on a new car, not to mention taxes and outrageous insurance payments.

Congrats!!!!
