I'm about to commit a TB sin.

We got our taxes back yesterday and sent the whole thing to pay off the family van. It'll be nice to not have that payment anymore. Saved us just over $700 in interest over the next 2 years.

We're maintaining the full coverage insurance though.

Yesterday I pulled $2,300 out of my account. As im looking at the cash I have the incredible urge to but a Rick.
But I only owe $2,100 on my truck. So despite my intense gas pains im going to do the fiscally responsible thing and pay off my truck. Six months early I might add.

This hurts my sole a little but I'll be able to grab a Rick in no time since I'm dropping a $340 monthly payment. Not to mention the money on insurance saved switching from full coverage to liability. If I decide to do that.
Good day to you's

I still don't understand why your feet hurt when you have a truck to ride in!
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for the heads up.
All the previously dispensed appreciation and affirmation of your fiduciary responsibility notwithstanding, I now know that it will take you 4~5 months to save up for the Rick you want, so I'll be sure to get there first and snag it.:D

No sin, you put yourself in a position to buy more gear in the future. GAS on!

The reason I was able to afford a US Spector, SWR head and a 6x10 Mesa cab during 2016 for a band that makes me NO MONEY is because I've kept my old car which I bought cash. That car will not quit, it has saved me so much money, Toyotas rock!

I hate to burst your bubble but I believe that it's been statistically proven that within 6 months after you pay off a vehicle it will fall apart. Seriously, I'm not joking.

Plus, the other good thing is you won't waste your hard-earned $ on some silly Ric . . . :smug::roflmao::D
