I need some advice to direct toward my DH. In June 2010, he purchased am 04 pickup truck(which he "needed" for work). The payments on it are $360 a month and are totally killing our budget. They are exactly 10% of our take home pay. We are self employed, so that is without taxes taken out. We...

I had bought the motorcycle last year for a couple thousand with cash I had saved up. Well I sold it for $2800 and took that plus 1200 cash I had and paid off the truck! That was my last debt! Im very excited cant wait to build up my 6 month emergency fund!!! Anybody else sell something to...

Sounds like a good work truck!

The last payment on THE truck was sent out today. On to the last debt in BS2.

We made our first snowball payment on the truck this month. DH waited a few days and then went on-line to see it posted. It posted but it was credited to next month's payment. He called to ask why and the lady told him he had to send principal only payments to another address. He asked why...

I am thrilled!! Last year we tried to trade it in and downsize and the offer we got to trade it in was only 9 thousand. We've been checking around on and off and we also heard that trucks have gone up in value. (it was a 2006 Chevy 4x4 and super low millage) A car dealership gave us a trade in...

Well, it's been a tighter year than we expected, but as of five minutes ago, we transferred over the final payment for dh's Ford Expedition. Done! Free and clear!!! We now own both of our cars (mine was paid off years ago) and it's one less thing looming over our heads. Feels GREAT!!!

So, does this mean I recycle for nothing?:skept: I have a hard time believing they sort through them especially after they crush it all up.

Really! I was shopping at WM today and had my coupon binder open on the baby seat part of the cart. An elderly gentleman saw it and exclaimed "Oh No!!!! Not another one, not you too!!!" I said "Does your wife coupon too?" Then he proceeded to tell me: They have been couponing for 20 years as of...

On Sat we had arranged to meet up with the parents of my son's financee. We had met them before, before the engagement and therefore a few weeks ago they called and said that maybe we should meet up since everything was now serious. I said of course but inwardly I groaned (DH too.) There are...

A very dear friend just sent this to me: One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by...
