Default when u pay it off or if you can make extra payments when u can

youl have that much money to add stuff later if you choose to drop it into your jeep , but a stock jeep isnt that hard to live with if you dont fall for the just empty every pocket scam but its very easy to do though

I'm a Sales Executive for a top 20 home builder, but I too have a house (400k house note), wife's car 13 4Runner limited, two kids daycare is $1600 (can't wait for that to go away) and my wife just went back to work so finally I'll be able to do more modding! Luckily I was able to pay off my jeep after only 1 year of payments, I bought it brand new.( paid it off with one of my bonuses) I just purchased a BDS 3.5 lift with fox 2.0 shox and fox stabilizer for my birthday, all getting installed tomorrow!

I work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. I get to work extra to pay for my mods. I normally work 14 & 14, but pull a lot of 21 day hitches to help pay for it. I'll be doing that soon to start building my new Rubi!

I am a government contractor. I have very little debt. I have a wife and four kids, but am really only responsible for two, because the other two are done with school. It only took 20 years to become an overnight success. So, since for twenty years, I didn't have any vehicle super special I now have a Raptor and a JK. I have a personal budget of what I allow myself for mod's. It's around $1500 a month.

I hate to say the daycare bills turn into after care bills and summer camp bills, I was paying 21K a year for daycare when my 2 kids were small that changed to $400/mo ea for aftercare and a 7k per summer camp bill. We both worked our butts off made decent bucks and paid house off in 18 years + a second home outright. My 2012 JKU was first vehicle I ever bought brand new (0%) all others were 1-2 years old either paid cash or paid off in 3 years and kept for 10 years. My advice is live below your means if you make 200k live like it is 100k and max out 401K and other investments if you can.
