Zero, if you run into a cash cow all of a sudden, the first urge is to go on a spending spree. The fiscal conservative pays down his debt first.

Paying off that loan would be a very good thing to do, and it won't hurt your credit score at all. Think of it as fucking the banker that has been fucking you. Then if you want, go upgrade your vehicle, but get a better loan rate, in fact, message me with the terms offered and I can go through the numbers to determine your level of sodomy.

I am still seeking that cash cow, lol. Since I started this, my credit score has jumped nearly 200 points which I was expecting a healthy jump around May or June when the Sallie Mae double dipping efforts were abolished. So now the only debt I have are my student loans which I think I might start looking into getting a better interest rate and paying them off as soon as I can.

The purpose for bumping this was just an update of sorts and to say my goal was to buy a home this summer when I expected my score to jump, but goodness, the more I research into owning a home, it feels more like I'd be taking on two more kids.

If you pay $10/mo extra, you can cut about a year off the term of the loan. As stated before, remember to specify the excess to principle. Paying it off early won't hurt your credit score, it might just not be improved as much as it would have. If you pay if off early by making consistent payments of a higher amount, you will likely improve your credit just as much if not more.

An option if you can swing it, would be to pay it down part way fast, to a point where you can sell it for more than you owe. Just to get out from under the loan. Than buy a cheaper car. Not only would you save on interest, you would be able to cut your insurance cost as well. Over the long haul you would save big.

Once you get out from under the loan, make car payments to yourself. Put the money away and when it would come time to replace you will have the cash ready.

Very dependable cars can be had for $5000 or less. My 01 Altima was $5000 when I bought in 2011. It has 121K miles. today it has 240, and all I've needed to put into it has been gas, oil, tires, a battery, brakes and rear struts. Run Synthetic oil and only change the oil every 15,000 miles. It is starting to show body rust under the rear doors. Other than that, it should make 300,000 miles. That is unless my daughters who will be driving in another year decide to remodel it.

Some people claim that owning a home is a key to obtaining wealth. I'm not totally convinced on that one. When you dive into the numbers and include taxes, upkeep, and mortgage interest - I believe renting is much cheaper. In your case, with the age of your daughters and them going off to school - buying a home probably does not make the best financial sense for you.

Maybe if I had been more wise with my dollars 10-15 years ago and bought a home in my early twenties it would have been a decent time. And then when the girls were moved out, sell it and rent a nice small hole in the wall place to live out my days. Oh, with a garage, need a garage.

The money shit doesn't matter. I'd give it all away so that Mia wouldn't have ever had to know what cancer is.

Speaking of holes in the wall - you might as well pick some place warm and beachlike. You can do that nerdy computer techy shit anywhere, can't you?
