TODAY - realizing the "fresh start"

[nervousss]

It is the end of an era for you. The beginning of a new, better one.

Congratulations, I know that was difficult to do, but oh, so worth it

Debt free! yay!

Great decision. People need to get over this obsession with their car defining them. Well, it seems to be a lot worse in California than other places.
PS Audi's are better and sexier anyway.

You are so right about my "old" perception, which made me think my car made me important.

As for the Audi, I'd LOVE a paid off one.....in the meantime, I think I look pretty darn sexy in my mini-SUV...hehehehehe

It was difficult to drive off and leave it on the lot. But no payments is much better.

I saved a TON of money on my car insurance (lol - I sound like a commercial) when I called to remove the vehicle from my policy.

Wow, that is huge! What will you do with all that extra cash each month? Enjoy it!

Good for you!!!

I wish I could do the same but my financed car is my only car. I never wished I had a spare beater car until now!

Good move. You can always replace that Mercedes later and the best part is that you will get one that is even newer and nicer.
