The catch with that is that mine won't be paid off until three years from now, and my wife's (currently at 68K miles and counting) may well be worse for wear by that point. I have to expect at least one car payment in the mix for the longterm future. (On the plus side, there will be no credit-card debt or other easily-avoidable financial perils, either.)
