1. pay off the car..use the "car payments" to save for the vacation
It's a win-win..You pay yourself the car payments, and have the car paid off in case of an emergency:)

3. Here's why.
You take the vacation, spend the money, and when you get home your car breaks down..NOW you have to pay for repairs and still have car payments:(

get a blender..make your own daquiris:P

4. Pay off half the loan and go on a pretty good vacation.
They call me "The Great Compromiser".
With the emphasis on the "miser" part.

7. Negative on bifurcated infants.
I say "joint custody" and a pox on both their houses.
