I got VA Compensation back pay and I was able to knock out all of my student loans (about 19k) in one fell swoop! Now the only debt I have is my car loan (like 26k left on it, brand new 2012 Ford Focus). I recently got my first full-time job making about 46k a year and I'm living on my own. My lease is up in Feb 2013 and I'm looking to getting my own house! Hopefully nothing too crazy as it could be something I could rent out for income later on in life! Also, started working towards maxing out my Roth IRA for the 2012 tax year and set up 20% contribution towards my retirement with a 10% employer match! Things are definitely looking up

All the features, it's a pretty awesome car. Talk to me 5 years ago and I would've told you I'd never in a million years buy a Focus. They've come a LONG way and are great, economical vehicles with some really great features (heated seats, full leather, navigation/XM, remote start, etc).
