Thanks for sharing this...We all do things that we can look back on and call "dumb". Maybe it is so we can realize how far we have come, how much we have learned, and how much we have grown. I just "found" Dave this weekend and am loving his Total Money Makeover book. I wish I had read it when I was a senior in college!! Fortunately we aren't in horrible shape, but we do have things to work on... I love your blog! Keep up the great work! :)

Oh, we've all done stupid things like this. We currently have our first car payment ever. With our 7th with was illegal to drive in our old van, so last spring '07 we got a bank loan to buy a 15 passenger at a car dealers auction. We bought a newer one due to the technology and roll over rates. My husband insisted. Can I say how much I HATE having this payment? We are working hard to pay it off by next July. Can't wait to get this monkey off of our back. But I am so thankful to have a reliable, safe car to drive our family. We are trying to keep our miles under 1000 a month to keep it as new as possible. Plus we can't afford the gas otherwise:)

Thanks for telling your story! It's a good one. Before you know it, you'll be debt-free.

You do a great job with your blog! It's always interesting and very helpful. We've been out of debt for a while but I still learn a lot of new 'thrifty stuff' here.
