BIG day for me! For the last decade I have driven (the incomparable) Cora Lola my 1996 Toyota Corolla with 287,000 miles. She was the true hero of my debt free journey and never cost me more than an oil change or tire replacement. I was able to pay off $115k in 4 years! So many people told me I “deserved” or “needed” a new car during that time, but I couldn’t have done what I did with a car payment on my back. Since becoming debt free, I have been casually saving for a replacement car. Well, today was that day! It felt SOOO good to walk into the dealership and hand over a check for the FULL PURCHASE PRICE on my dream car! I don’t owe the bank a dime, and it didn’t cost me any peace of mind either. I couldn’t help but get a little emotional on the drive home because, for as much as I paid off, I never had anything to physically show for it until today! So everyone please welcome BeBe Rexha to my family! (2018 RAV4 with 40k miles!) 🖤🖤🖤 My official Dave car!
PS don’t worry, Cora Lola will be with my mom living a life of well deserved retirement on the farm ❤️
