OT - Paid Off My Car Today!

Not like it's a mercedes or even from this decade...

but it's MINE.

And I paid for it,
I got the credit for it....

all on my own.

And that - feels GOOOOOD!!!

Nobody can take it from me.
Nobody has any say so over it.
Nobody can use it to threaten me.

ANd that is lovely.

Ford Taurus GL (1994)

seafoam green.

there's at least five others here in town which is strange to come into a parking lot and see one.Makes me feel like I"m already there or something.

I just got my old Dodge Durango back from my sister - the one I paid off two years ago that she was using as a back-up, but I need now as leaving my AH left me short one car. It squeaks so loud that I figure I won't hit anyone (or anything) since they can hear me coming a mile away! It didn't have heat so needed instant $200 in repairs. The drivers seat sags, there's a big dent in the back door and rust on the front fender.

But its PAID OFF and its MINE and what a great feeling to know I am stepping closer and closer to self sufficiency!

Congrats Barb!!!
