Hard to imagine I purchased the truck brand new Nov. of 2005, and I just made the last payment tonight!

Awesome feeling... paid it off a full year ahead of time! w00t...

Good job

See if you can sock away a partial payment now , into some sort of savings account.

I financed my last truck for 5 yrs and paid it off in 2.5. Take it from someone who's been there, done that. Especially if you have a significant other, that money can disappear right back out of your budget in no time and you won't even know how. Up your retirement contributions, do some other sort of automated savings deductions, bonds, whatever, but unless you have something pressing it will be to your benefit to continue to act like it's not even there.

I put 500 a month into savings when paying the truck, but now I'll be able to put 1k / month... come on house!
