Hey, good for you. Now, two lessons my daddy taught me and I have lived by my whole life:
1) Never be too proud of anything that depreciates.
2) Never make payments on anything that depreciates.
The moral of the story - - always pay cash for things like boats, cars, trucks, RVs, furniture, etc. Drive what you can pay cash for. Make payments religiously to yourself and invest that money - - when you need a newer vehicle, see how much money you have saved - - that is what you can afford. Tough love, but it works.

I can't even see the end of the tunnel for me. Not even close 
A little over 15k left to pay. I often wonder is it realy worth all of it? Honestly. No! but it's what I wanted and it's what I got and im in no condition to be complaining.
I look at it like this, most kids at my age don't have something like this, heck neither do most adults. Im fortunate for what I have and I plan on keeping it that way.
