&quot;I feel like Murphy is lurking around the corner with a huge financial emergency that will wipe me out and cause me to take on additional debt.&quot;<br /><br />I just had to comment on how hard this statement made me laugh when reconciled with your earlier statement that you still have/had $17,000 in savings at that point.<br /><br />You are worried about ANYTHING when you have $17k in

Umm thats a dumb idea especially if you got low promotional financing on it. I have a 2% car loan and am sure I could get a better return on my money than that 2% putting me ahead overall. If you wanted to pay a lump sum then you should have decided when you bought the car so you could the $1000 or other promotional offering that car companies give people that pay off in full

Good for you! Must feel wonderful. I can't wait to pay off our cars

I always feel a huge power rush when I fork over a lot of money.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you could probably save a lot of money if you quit smoking :)

I'm glad you finished your car loan. It must feel great.

Maybe take a look at it a different way. If you paid cash for the car at the time of purchase you would pleased as punch that you paid for the car with cash. You should have that same feeling. At the time of purchase you might not have been able to save everything you needed but now your goal has been accomplished.<BR/>Way to go!!

My hero! Congrats on doing something that I aspire to sometime in the future. Great job on kicking Chase to the curb.

Congrats! Sometimes taking a major steps is hard, but it's usually worth it. Before the end of the year you'll be up to your $20K mark just by diverting your car money to savings.

Congrats! Having a paid off car will change your financial outlook and probably help you take some smart, calculated risks.

@financial ramblings: I'm hoping it does become addictive. I don't want another car loan again. <BR/><BR/>@paul: thanks<BR/><BR/>@debt dieter: I plan to build the account back up as soon as possible. <BR/><BR/>@singla ma: It's starting to feel better already.<BR/><BR/>@lez: LOL. I hope Murphy takes a long, long vacation.

Congrats and join the club! When the check clears, you'll feel great. Personally, I think you made a very wise decision that you won't regret.

Congratulations! If you use the old car payment to restock your slush fund you'll be back at $20K in around 5 months anyway won't you?<BR/><BR/>Can you actually think of any 'Murphy' that could occur in your own life where $22K would make things easier than $17K at this point in time?

Uber-snowflake!! That's awesome. And think of all the money you'll be saving on interest. And earning interest on each month (if the $500+ goes to investing, anyway).

Congrats! I love the feeling of driving around in a paid off car. Best of luck putting all that extra money away. You'll be much better off for it!

Congrats! Driving a paid off car is kinda addictive. Hopefully you feel better after the big-check butterflies go away. If there is any doubt, you could pay your old car pmt to a special anti-Murphy fund until you feel 110% better.
