Paid off my car loan 18 months early by packing lunch

I was dumping like $50 a week on fast food near my job in Phoenix. Started bringing leftovers and a sandwich every day instead. That saved me about $200 a month which I put straight onto my car principal. Just made my final payment yesterday and the title is in my hand now. Anyone else get a boost from cutting out a daily habit?

Packed lunch" is code for "I finally admitted my iced coffee addiction was literally costing me a car payment." $200 a month on fast food near any office park is honestly impressive, Phoenix must have some primo drive-thrus. I did the same thing but with Red Bulls, turns out skipping three a week is basically a down payment on a used Honda. Congrats on the title, now you can afford to crash your car into a taco stand guilt free.

$50 a week on fast food" - try freezing prepped burritos, saves even more time.

Fifty bucks a week is rookie numbers, you gotta pump those rookie numbers up.
