Just having a vacation to look forward to helps a a lot, then just being able to see new places has made me more happy than the material possessions I used to think were everything. On my deathbed hopefully I will think of all the vacations I took and the experiences I got over the material stuff I've had.

    Damir is probably going to get into the $500+ a month car payment....$37K on a standard loan is usually about $700 a month (depending how much is put down)....yeah too much for my cheap ass. I think his Columbian connections are helping him out

    Working like mad to pay off my car... So I can go hunt for another fun car

    After selling the Opel, my garage has an open slot... Once I get Keyser's FJ outta there, I'll need another "fun" car.

    I'll tell you, after spending the last few years travelling all over the world for work (and some for fun), I regret not trying to travel more. When I was younger, it was all about stupid purchases with expendable funds. I should have been putting that money into plane tickets instead of paintball and bar tabs! haha...

    Next on my list is to go back to Japan, and actually spend time there instead of a long layover. Hopefully in 2018.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Is 0% for 72 months available? Otherwise someone is doing bad math.

    Currently only .9% for 72 months on 2017 Tundras and 2.9% on 2017 Tacomas through TFS. The 0% offers ended on the 2nd unfortunately. May have to wait until the end of the year for better deals.

    Who does math anymore when we have tools for that. 37k with zero down for 60 months is about $667 a month not even factoring in sales tax.

    ive always heard 60 months is the standard loan. 72 months is ok for zero interest but if not your just paying more by extending the loan
