I guess you musta really wanted/liked your car then! It's nice of your parents to lend you money at an assumed low interest or no interest rate! If I were a parent, why not, esp if it helps my kids family and s/he pays us back eventually and doesn't continue to ask for more. Look forward to the post! Ah, gotcha.

The one glaring omission to all of your plans are HOW you plan to achieve your aims, goals and objectives. You can get in the car and drive all day, but if you don't know where you are going before you set out, you're never going to get there! That's what we call financial planning...without a plan, it's just a wish.

The situation is a bit complicated (and it gives me a great idea of post!). We borrowed this money to buy our first house (4 years ago) and I need to pay them back by November 2010. While taking a 30k loan for a new car doesn't seem to be a great idea, my wife was working at that time and we were able to pay both the car loan and put money aside to reimburse my parents. We decided that my wife should quit her job after we took the car loan (not really the best planning!). I do not feel comfortable to owe this money to my parents and I really want to pay them back by the end of the year. Since they don't need it, they told me that they prefer to see my wife staying home and that we are happy to spend more time with our kids then being reimbursed. Nonetheless, this will be my priority for 2010. I really don't want to owe them money after November 1st! Hey FS!

Just wondering, what is your mindset of having a $30,000 car loan, while having a $30,000 parental loan? Tell me you didn't get the car loan after you already owed money to your parents? But then, if didn't, and got the car loan first, shouldn't the $30K loan from your parents be used to pay off other loans? Sorry if I don't know your history. Just curious, as well as your mindset for borrowing from the Bank of Mom & Dad with a six figure income now. Thnx! Good goals!
