    Default No more car payment!!!

    We got our income tax back on Friday and was able to pay off our entire vehicle loan. It will save us $290.00 a month.
    It took all of our check except $48 dollars but it was worth it. There are so many things we could have used that money for but getting out of debt is more important to us than anything else we could have done with it.
    Planning on working on our equity loan next.
