Barb’s Burblings

Yesterday I wrote the check for my last car payment. That’s right; Seth is now paid off. And yes, I actually wrote a check. I’m excited, as I’m paying him off early (I was scheduled to have my last payment due in September). I’m pretty happy, because this gives me a bunch more money I can start putting toward paying down my credit card debt. I’ve gotten pretty good at not adding to the credit card debt (managing to knock about $500 off it last year), but now I can begin chipping away at it in earnest. I’ll also increase the payments toward my dental debt, in the hopes of getting that paid off this year as well.
Unfortunately, I can’t get too excited, because I have to pay car insurance next month, so I really won’t see tons of extra money then. But still, huzzah! Now I just have to wait patiently until the title arrives…and hope that Seth doesn’t realize he’s paid off and start jettisoning parts.
