payoff rethink

I double-checked to be sure it actually was paid off, and it really was. And despite the fact that this is the longest I've ever owned a car (4 years), and how much the desire for something new is burning inside me, I might not get a car.

The smarter thing to do would be to pay off the large (for me) amount of credit card debt that I amassed from medical bills and all the stuff that comes with moving to a new place. Just this week I had to pay $1050 for recent care, after insurance. And don't even mention the amount I spend on prescriptions!

I can't stand to know that out of the two payments a month I'm spending on paying off that credit card, 1/4 goes to finance charges. It eats through my brain. So I might just sell the car and pay off the card. Or not. I'm also really bad at decision-making, in case you hadn't noticed.

i paid my car off! na-na-na-na-nah!

Since I'm really terrible at keeping up with paperwork and all, I've set up everything I can as auto-pay. In my twisted mind, this also frees me up from having to look at mail. (Stupid, I know.) But since it's tax week and I haven't done my taxes yet, and I'm feeling very guilty and anxious and heavily burdened, I opened the letter from my auto loan company. And it turns out that at the end of March, I paid off my car!

Yippee-ki-yay, MF!

So I'll be basking in the luxury of one less monthly payment, until I get around to getting a California drivers license and registering my car here (Texas registration ran out months ago). And then I can sell it.

And I'll probably go get a SF-appropriate Cooper Mini! :D
