This is our very last non-mortgage loan and we send an extra payment every month as part of our Debt Freedom Plan. If nothing changes, this loan will be paid off by end of 2019, but I’d love to move that up and say adios to this loan! If not, we’ll start saving in 2019. I’ll apply that money to the debt.

The backstory: In November 2019, my van was in need of new tires and I was debating on whether to get the new tires or start looking for a replacement vehicle. I talk a lot about debt freedom and that is still a goal of ours, and our Debt Freedom Plan will be adjusted. We…took out a car loan. Yes, you read that correctly!
