Kawasaki Forums - Yeaaaaaaaaa I paid my truck off!!!!

But I have re-thought running through the neighborhood naked. However, It really hasn't sunk in yet. Kind of like when you graduated from high school. You didn't really notice a difference until September came around again. :D:D:D So lets all take a minute to look back on some good times with the truck, and hopefully many, many more years of no payments. :p Good times...

Ok...I know what some of you are thinking..."deej you are losing it buddy" But this is the first time in my life I have ever paid off a vehicle. I have had 10 cars in my life on contracts, and all of them with the exception of this great truck I have paid like 80% then traded it on a different vehicle, and started all over. So for 25 years I have been making 1 or 2 payments. I think I have finally realized that not just because of the way the economy is, but because there is no need for me personally to be doing this anymore. That truck is a powerhouse and a workhorse. I bought it 7 years ago, when it was 2 years old with 80,000 miles on it. Which for a diesel is like 10,000 miles on any other vehicle. I now have 119,000. So you can see I put way less than miles than the average driver.

September will also see the end of a 7 year contract on the 2002 Toyota Camry. Total savings.....$750.00 a month! Now maybe I can actually plan for and execute a family vacation or just save some money. This is all new territory for me. Plus my wife just got a second part time job at the pharmacy, so hopefully we can get rid of some other bills and finally keep it simple. ;)

Thanks for your time...this is "Tom Bodett "We’ll leave the light on for you"

Or as Paul Harvey would say...."Good day"
