    Lots of bad stuff going on here right now, but today I made the final payment on our mini van. Now, woo hoo, it's free and clear, ours.

    Congrats on getting the van paid off. Cars sure do drive differently when there's no payment attached!

    That's not a small success that's fantastic.
    Remember the snowball , now you have money free to pay down something else. Trust me it will be a difference. Now don't go rushing out to buy a new car or anything
