I'm only a year younger than you and in the same mindset. If things are going as they currently are, I can pay the car off by the end of Spring to late summer (1 year of ownership by then.) Why so early? So interest can stop eating into my wallet! Planning to put down a gigantic down payment on a house in a few years... Best of luck to you! |

Exactly, I hate seeing that car sit on the lot since I drive by it everyday haha, but I know it'll be better in the long run. I couldn't get mine paid off as fast as you are. Even though my GI Bill helped with college, it didn't help much with books and my out of state cost since I went to Florida which is about 40 minutes from me. I'm sure the house payment will come soon enough, but right now I just want to move to where my girlfriend is and formally propose with a ring and all instead of over skype like our long distant relationship consists of. With her car paid off and mine paid off, that would save both of us a ton each month. Not going to lie though, the BRZ kept trying to burn a hole in my pocket despite me putting out the flame a lot :p there was so much I wanted to do to it, but I know it wouldn't be smart to put that much money into it. |

Very good decision, car payments sucks and you can always get something nicer when you are more established.

Wow - smart financial decision making! Most people drive beaters in college then get their first real job and run out and buy/lease a BMW (ahem, not that I'd know anything about that... ).
Yes - car payments suck - especially when there's interest involved. But heck even those 0% loans are still a loan balance hanging over you. I've gotten to a point in life where I've been able to pay my car loans off early. I think I had a loan on my BRZ for about a year. We talk about buying a new car - but as a "cash buyer" everything looks/feels SO expensive! $5-600/mo is one thing but $35-45k lump sum? Scary! |

Not a bad move at all.
I've really been considering doing the same thing actually. Have had car payments for years now and I'm getting tired of that along with the feeling that it's not really my car yet. But at the same time, I'm 1/3 of the way to paid off after a year and a half of owning this thing. It's tempting to just keep working at finishing it off early, but I know the money should probably be going towards something else. |

Agreed, car payments suck, just make sure you don't go blowing all that extra money on something else.
I was lucky, able to pay my car off at 24 and own it free and clear now, I plan on keeping it for a long time, it has a lot to teach me. For someone who feels 'done' with the car it makes sense to me to get out earlier rather than later. |
