Just the other day a friend of mine told me a story about paying off her car loan. She was in her office and was telling a coworker how excited she was to have just paid it off. Her coworker's response was enthusiastic but came with the immediate question, "So what car are you going to get now?" My friend was confused. She wasn't going to get a new car. She just paid off her current one and was happy to not have any more payments! Once I heard this story, it occured to me just how comfortable we americans have become with our debt and payments. It's typical to buy a new car immediately after paying off or often times before even paying off the current loan. It's unfortunate that we've become accustom to that because that kind of mentality can literally cost you millions of the course of your lifetime - and for what? Is it worth it to always have a new car that you won't care about in a few years anyway? Imagine if I could offer you an amount between $600k and 2.6 million dollars cash at the age of 62 if you could only buy cars under $12k until then. Would you do it? Here's how to make it a reality.
