Thursday, I PAID OFF THE TRUCK!

Yes,  Finally a large debt is paid off!  I started with 7 debts and now I have 6!  I made the last payment last night.  Oh Happy Dance!  The scary part is that I am driving a 16 year old car that I cannot take out of town.  So I must borrow a car to go anywhere.  We live in rural Idaho.  I totaled my perfectly good paid for automobile last September.  Of course I was only given a fraction of what it was worth.  Needless to say my husband has a truck payment and we cannot afford two car payments.  So with 32 more months to pay on the truck we decided to pay it off first and then approach a car for me.  This has led to all kinds of problems.  But I was not going to go further into debt.  Last September our friends and family thought we were nuts to not replace my car, but I was serious about our debt.  It was none of their business.  Now we have no car payments.  May it stay that way for a while.  We paid the truck off with the $5000.00 settlement from my car and a $2400.00 check I thought was a write off on an old contract.  The rest was just regular payments, snowflakes and perseverance.
So 32 months became 8 and it is gone.  I am so proud of me!

Out My Window:
Apples, cherry, pear trees are in bloom.  They come down a fence line and are planted pink, white, pink, white.  No not on purpose, this was a accident. I can only choreograph dancers.  Still cold!

This is my big teaching day, I hope to get a lot done.  I also have a dentist appointment this morning and more sewing to do.  Life never ends.  I am excited to get to work on my next big debt.  It is $4000.00. Let's see how long this will take me.

Can you believe that I just wrote that I am excited to pay off debt?  What happened to the old me?

Have a great and productive day!
