When I bought my brand new truck I paid over $40,000 dollars and was happy as could be but the honeymoon was over quick and the $500 plus car payment got old quick. When I first starting thinking about paying off a car loan fast, It because my number one priority. You see I started thanking about life before those car payments and life after. To honest buying a new car inspired me to to get completely out of debt. So for that it was a good thing. Some of you may be thinking do paying off a car loan early help credit score? Honestly, it dropped my a few points but not enough to cause any damage but I'll take a minor drop over car payments any day.

bro i have a 24,000 auto loan debt do u think is a good idea to pay 10,000 to the principal and stay with no savings

[@DiamondEdwards]

Always keep something in savings. When I was getting out of debt I keep $2k in savings which is paper thin but that was my motivation to get it done as fast as I could. Plus that was enough to cover the things that was most probable. It worked like a champ and get out debt fast. Now I can save more than ever. Do it!

[@rachaeljackson3759]

Sometimes how this world works really frustrates me. The fact that we all have similar situations like this is so sad. And it sucks that all these big companies just want to make money and don’t care about who they’re screwing over. They just try to pull a fast one on you and get their money. I literally bought a car yesterday. MY FIRST CAR! I saved and saved. I was tired of having to ask people for rides, and using other peoples cars. After about 2 weeks of looking at cars, trying to find something within my budget, I was tired. I just wanted a car. So I bought the last one I saw. Technically it’s within my budget but it’s at the top of my budget and the interest is high. I feel like I can’t really enjoy the car because I’m thinking about that interest and the amount of time I have the car for. But knowing that there are people like me out there, with the same situation, who have come out on the other side is such a good feeling. It gives me a peace of mind and makes me feel less scared. I know I’m not alone in this. We got this this guys. Thank you diamond for your helpful and inspiring video!

When we were raising our now-grown kids, we had a lot of debt. I decided to make extra payments to the item that had the lowest balance because, to me, I knew that would lift my spirits with faster progress. However, the "experts" at the time said this was stupid and I should be paying off what had the highest interest rate. Well, even though they made me feel stupid, I did it anyway, and I'm so thankful I stuck to my guns! There's nothing more encouraging than seeing your hard work get results. To this day, I have total disdain for any kind of so-called expert. Congrats to you and your wife--good job!

It’s the secret sauce!

[@hammerridecycling7630]

how do you pay just the principle only?do i need to call the bank to tell them im paying principle only?thanks in advance🤗

[@creditkingtv4115]

lethalbowtie yup thats all it is. You call them and say hey i want to make a principal payment only to my car. They send you a receipt and your good. The good thing when you do this you dont get charged interest so def look into it.

Thank you so much for the JEWELRY brother!!! I've just bought my car in full with no payments!

[@DiamondEdwards]

Enjoy it, no payments is great filling and it allows you to save up for the next one.

I felt trapped in my agreement. Thank you for making this video and giving me motivation. It CAN be done 😅 Just have to stay focused. Thank you again!

Without Tip 5 anyone chances of success is significantly impacted! Stay focused and don't listen to people who are broker than you! You CAN DO THIS!!!

Excellent job. You and your wife should be proud. You worked together to achieve something significant

Thank you brother. Very good info in this video. Crucial information about paying the Principal on a vehicle. Liked and subscribed.

You just got a new subscriber!! With the game you giving away, I don’t know why you don’t have 10k+ followers. I just got a 2nd car and I’m trying to pay if off by next year. I would love to use this blueprint, I can definitely use your help, you made it sound simple

[@DiamondEdwards]

Wow, thank you! That's aggressive goal but where would we be without goals. You got this! My primary goal for this channel is to talk about about personal finance but come from a real place. When we know better we do better. I come from humble beginnings and made a lot of upward progress. I don't want to wait until I've "made it" to start giving the game. I want to help as many people as I can along the way. Share any video on my channel with someone who you think it will help. Thanks for the support!

[@djjbsmuve346]

Thx for the info. I've been making extra payments on my car but I wasn't applying them as principal payments....until now!

[@DiamondEdwards]

Any time!

Brilliant video & advice

Great video!

[@arnettabosby5100]

You’re right. We needed extra money coming in so we went in with friends and flipped a house. Took the money from our credit cards invested it. Made minimum payments for four months. Sold the house and put it back on the cards. First payoff.... the truck!! Man it felt good. Second, the credit card. Now we are looking to do it again and pay student loans. Unless they just cancel them first 😂😂

[@DiamondEdwards]

CONGRATULATIONS ON A SUCCESSFUL FLIP! The grind is real! I tried a bunch of stuff over the years to get out of debt some worked, some didn't but one thing was constant. No matter how much I paid off, the debt always came back and bigger each time. Then I realized it was not a math problem, it was ME! Money is a mindset and you sound like you are focused. You got this!

[@arnettabosby5100]

@@DiamondEdwards we figured that same thing out too. So we have decided to turn the table. Thanks for all of the advice. Great stuff!

[@arnettabosby5100]
