Have to toot my own horn
We'tre on BS2, just paid off our first item in full- my minivan, paid off a little less than 2.5 years early, cutting the life of our car loan in half, more or less.
Dave's right- it DOES drive better now that it's OURS and not the bank's!
Keep pluggin' away folks- it feels tremendously good, even with more debts to clean up, to have even one less!

GREAT JOB!
It will feel even better when you top 200-300k plus in miles and you realized how much money you saved.

Woo hoo!! I don't do DR, but I *am* slowly chipping away at one debt at a time, so I sympathize with how it feels! I was so excited when I finally turned my head around and paid off my first card and cancelled it!! I did have five at one time, all maxed out. Now I am down to two, and working on those puppies with every spare penny!
