I have very little to pay on my car and over $80k left on the student loans - I might have to bookmark this post for those days when I think that making extra $100 payments are really getting me there any faster. And re: your truck post - I can't wait to see it. I'm in the middle of deciding how long I should wait to get my next car. I think I’m a similar situation as far as student loans and car debt.

You would probably pay for those 3 rentals per year in fuel savings alone. By the way, I drive a huge vehicle too (Chevy Tahoe - 150,000+ miles), and I LOVE the convenience of it, so I can understand where you are coming from. But, since it is currently paid off, I am just going to stick with it until I am forced to buy a new (used) car. Congrats on paying off the student loan, clever dude, you're headed in the right direction! You'll be debt free before you know it. Then you'll just be wealthy!
