pay off the car.

Better question is why are you driving a $40,000 BMW? My $20k Subuaru Cross Trek works just fine.
Because you asked so pretentiously, because I'd rather be 20k poorer than drive that.
I like to help people. I could do a lot with the $20k. I am married with 3 kids. We have 5 cars and have to insure 5. My kids are in college or recent graduates. They don't have to worry about a car payment. Nor do I.

I have been mortgage free since 1999 and never have had a car loan. I am one of 8 kids and grew up with not a lot. In fact I did not get my drivers license until I was 21. Just get from point A to point B. My NW $6 mln. I am not trying to impress anyone but help my family. You will learn someday.
Learn what? Where did we establish that this isn't discretionary income that the OP is spending? What if his NW is higher than yours?
