So, I've been looking forward to this month for a long time for many reasons. Of course, there's the obvious--Christmas, Christmas music, Christmas movies, family time, out of school for 2 weeks, etc. In addition to those things, though, I have accomplished something pretty huge! After 5 years, my 2003 Altima is FINALLY PAID FOR! Yep. I bought the car 5 years ago when I started teaching (and when I could actually afford a car payment) and I have JUST made my last payment! Even better, my car only reached 50,000 miles this week, so it's still got a long way to go! I plan on driving this car for at least 4 more years or so.
Here's a picture of me back in Dec. of 2003, the day I got my car. My hand is on my Altima, and my foot is on my old car--the 1988 Mazda 626 who was fondly named "Dante" (may it rest in peace).
If you're looking to buy a new car sometime soon, may I recommend a Nissan Altima (or really any Nissan!). I still LOVE mine after 5 years!
