last car payment!

i’ve written my last check for my car payments today: 300 dollars.  i’ll send it either tomorrow or wednesday to make sure my paycheck gets in the bank before that check reaches the payment office.  i’ve been paying 280 bucks a month for last five years; that equals to 16,800 dollars, approximately.  i can’t quite believe that i’ve paid the thing off.  it has been tough and a couple times i’ve had to really scrounge around for money, but this is a big deal for me if for no other reason than i’ll now have 280 bucks a month more to play with –lets be honest, though, i’m just going to put that on other bills, but at least i’ll have that luxury.  looked at another way: that’s 3360 bucks a year.  that’s a lot of damn money. 

now if only i could get the school i’m attending to apply my student loan to bill i’d be a happy guy.
