Student loan in offically paid off, oh and I bought a new vehicle!
My mother loaned me the 2700 I needed to pay the student loan off! I'll pay her back @ a rate of between 100-150/month until its paid in full.
I bought a 2009 Santa Fe today. My payments will be 270 biweekly for the next 5 years. My car insurance increase by 300 for the year, which works out to be 25 more a month. So my student loan payment has just been replaced with a car payment! LOL. Oh and I got 0.9 % financing! So it'll cost 774.00 to borrow the money for the SUV...
Right now I feel like I can actually say that everything has fallen into place quite nicely! I feel like I have all the stress lifted off my shoulders, and I won't have to borrow my mothers car to go to work! Now I just have to find someone to siphon the gas out of my car and put in my mothers, as i have a full tank and she doesn't.
I'll be busy working to get caught up in the next few days! What a Day its been!
PS, some people may be wondering why I bought a brand new vehicle? Low interest cost, I got 1,000 for my 1994 Accord ( which is dying a slow and painful death right now!), plus it has a warranty, and where I'll be driving a lot for the next 2 years, I need/want something that is reliable! Plus its all wheel drive, so I can plow through snow come winter. I'll be saying for winter tires now too!

Enjoy! There is nothing quite like getting a new car.
You did a good job on the car. It's a reasonable car. My Hyundai runs like a charm (4 yrs old). It might also be because I take good car of it maintanance wise. I have had no major repairs on it yet.
And you got great financing on it, too!
I hope that things continue to fall into place nicely. Sweet, you got to work from home. Getting nervous about the first day of school?? You'll do great! :D
