Don't tell my hubby, but..................

February 23rd, 2011 at 07:01 pm

I am paying off my car today. We have an agreement that he can never buy another car until the last car is paid off. So, I don't want him to know that I am paying it off.
The car is only 11 months old and has 3700 miles. We don't need a new car. His car is 3 years old and has 11,000 miles.
I had 3 c.d.'s coming due today at the bank, so I cashed them in. No one is paying anything in interest. I have a money market paying 9/10 of 1 per cent, so I put the money there.

I have decided to take my car payment money and add it to my $20 challenge each month. This month the corvette envelope has $815 in in, so I am adding that to the challenge money. I also got my regular check of $486 today, so that will be added too.

Prev. total $1946.00
today 1301.00
new total $3247.00

    Probably the best use of that money - see why you did it. Of course, don't tell! Wink

    Yeah. CD rates and savings rates are abysmal. I am so ready to make some money on all that stuff I've been socking away.

    You have to do what you have to do. I'm sure the interest you're paying on the car is more than what you'd be making at the bank. I did the same thing some years back and I paid myself back just like the bank would have been paid only I was making the interest. I became my own banker.

    Sneaky sneaky! I love it! Big Grin I would do the same thing. I paid off DH's car (three cars ago) and didn't tell him. Mine will be paid off in the next week or so. Just need to move some money around and hit the button.
