My car is upside down and it would make the most sense for me to shed the car, buy a junker, and get a loan for the difference.

I think paying off your car is a good idea.

basically my finances are as followsactual job with a paycheck - $10-14K/yrsidejobs - $10-14k/yrstudent grants - $4k/yrparent aid - $3-7k/yrand have an available $16k a year in student loan (which is interest free untill i graduate, and a great rate after that)and i have no debt, car is paid off, etc.is it possible for a student to purchase property on a tax income level of 14K??

Won't lease/finance another car, I have another paid-off car that I will drive.

Well,  first, know that notes are not part of real estate, it is finance, real estate is the collateral for mortgages, like a car is collateral for a car loan.

I think the podcasts are great to listen to in the car....I appreciate the advice.. you will be hearing from me in the future for sure...
