View Full Version : How I paid off the car 6 months early betharoo0 03-05-2007, 03:14 PM Its rather easy actually..... for the last year I added 15.00 to 25.00 to the orginal amount. There you have it. Now I have an "extra 300.00" a month to do whatever with. Iam saving it! Thats a grand total of 1800.00 buck-a-roos!:yoyo: betharoo0 03-05-2007, 03:14 PM Sorry:hubba: I meant a month I added the money to the actual payment. Missy 03-05-2007, 03:44 PM that add up fast! great job. FrugalMomof3 03-05-2007, 04:06 PM Great job :) frugalnana 03-05-2007, 06:07 PM Excellant job. Bethany 03-05-2007, 10:12 PM Wow, that's great. It's the little things like adding 25 bucks to your car payment that really add up and make a difference!!! Mom23boys 03-05-2007, 10:31 PM Way to go!! Every little bit adds up!! cara-lynne 03-05-2007, 11:02 PM that really does add up fast! i guess it is the same basis for dave ramsey's snowball plan. bumplett 03-05-2007, 11:49 PM woooo hooooo !! you should give yourself a 'no more car payment' party!! (just don't spend too much) :D Marie78 03-06-2007, 01:03 AM I think that's great! I have been putting an extra $30-$50 a month towards my cc payment and in 8 months I was down significantly more than I thought I would be. I think it's the smartest thing to do, a little bit of extra money can go a long way towards paying debts off early:) getnrichslowly 03-06-2007, 08:20 AM That is great, thank you for sharing! jamie79 03-06-2007, 09:10 AM good job!!!!! cheappearls 03-06-2007, 01:07 PM :cheer4: That's awesome! I'm starting to do that too. Adding a bit extra to the monthly payments. :D I'm hoping to have our truck and motorcycle paid off by the end of next year. Michelle68 03-06-2007, 08:40 PM Wonderful! You did good.:tay: --Michelle TheRootedNomad 03-09-2007, 09:17 AM Great job!!!!! $300.00 ....What you could do with $300.00 extra month leaves my head in fantasy land!!!! Enjoy!!! kaykwilts 03-09-2007, 09:35 AM Good for you.:tay: autumnlynn 03-09-2007, 12:33 PM Once you get a snowball rolling, it takes on a life of its own!! You have done a great job! Congrats!! :thumb: ama 03-09-2007, 04:30 PM What a great idea!! I'm inspired to follow your footsteps with my Jeep payment! Stella 03-10-2007, 12:45 PM Great job! I just paid off my CC so I am going to put that extra money towards my car payments. I would loooove to get rid of that payment, it would be an extra $390 a month! Sari 03-11-2007, 07:57 PM Congrats! I am doing the same thing with our car payment - paying an extra $40 or so every month. I am hoping to bump that up to an extra $100 per month soon. oneday 03-21-2007, 11:08 PM Great job!
