Agree 100%. When I paid off my first car (long long time ago) I kept up the monthly routeen, but instead of sending a check to the finance company, I made a deposit into my new car account. Suddenly I was earning interest rather than paying it. By the time I needed a new car, I had enough in the account to pay cash for it. Now I only take out a car loan if I can earn more interest than I am paying (like with the 1.9% Infiniti is currently offering).

Good incomes help, as does paying off debt as others have said. Gotta save!
