    Just paid off my truck 2.5yrs early and NO it was not from selling drugs. I know some of you would prob assume so....o, and also it was not from hooking on the weekends.


    No truck payment is nice....

    Cool! Congrats to ya! I had my 98 Taco paid off for about 5 years and I started stashing money aside (a pretend truck payment) and I also have a lawn mowing business in the summer when I'm not teaching. I stashed a lot of that money aside too. I was going to hold out til this June or July of '12, but couldn't resist when I got my hands on an '08 Sport Double Cab 4x4 Radiant Red. I put obout $15K down and I'm on pace (with the sale of the '98 Taco) to pay my "new" one off in July. But I hear some of you, the wif is going to start saying she needs one soon too. I'd love to get the house paid off early, that's the next goal!
