As of (roughly) noon today, the mortgage = nada.

Congrats.... I managed to get myself on that ship too several years ago. That on top of driving non-financed used cars, makes for relatively stress free sailing.

The last car we financed was a Volvo wagon, back in '82. And it turned out to be a lemon.

9 years.

One car loan...we call it the prime people mover. We put a lot on miles on the PPM and I always move it down the bench and buy new or used, depending (thanks Whippedpup!) at 5/6 years or 100k.

We generally sell the old PPMs at 8 to ten years, except the trucks

Congrats, Jim...

Stop paying your property taxes and find out who really owns your place.
