Attention Non-Football Fans: The college football season is almost over. Please be patient as your facebook feeds will soon return to normal and the constant stream of baby pictures, youtube music videos, religious repost this status or go to Hell and I'm so in love/ hate with this person I've been having sex with updates will return to their usual frequency. It may take up to 3 days for your timeline to update pending the number of LSU and/or Alabama fans you are friends with.
Today marked the arrival of something very special. Something Fantastic! Something I have been waiting to arrive in the mailbox for five long years. True, the U.S. Postal Service has been on a sharp decline recently, but today they brought me the best gift I have recieved in a looooooooonngggg time. And that iece of mail was...
...dun,DUN,dunnnnn
The title to my car!!!!!!!!!!
That's right, after 60 long months of regualr payments I am oficially the owner of my car! Excuse me if I am overusing the the exclamation point a bit, but this is quite possibly the most exciting thing that could possibly have happened today. Screw Football! I have assets!
No longer will I have to mail a check of $333.86 to Compass Bank every month on the 13th. Been there, done that. Never again do I have to wake up in a panic in the middle of the night because I can't remember if I remembered to mail the check. Never will I fear the dreaded masked Repo Man coming to claim what is mine. It's mine, my own, MY PRECIOUS.
But, on a serious note, I want to congratulate myself. A little over five years ago I stumbled into a car dealership in Conway, AR with $3500 saved up to buy a chick magnet. I ended up paying way too much for a Korean sports car that has in no way ever improved my love life and severely limited the number of friends I was allowed to have. (Seeing as the backseat is slightly bigger than a matchbox.) I'm not quite sure how I managed to make every payment, on time, with merely part-time, minimum wage jobs. But I did. I have the piece of paper to prove it. I also gained the knowledge and experience of how to make a major purchase like that, so next time I'll be a little more prepared and know what I'm looking for. It's such a great feeling to have a loan completely paid off and good credit history on my record. Just to know that it is possible to buy a car and pay it off before trading it in and only digging myself deeper into the debt-hole is a satisfying feeling.
I guess I'm just repeating the same thing in this entire blog, but you know what...
WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!
Now on to the pesky student loans.
