Paid off my car 8 months early by rounding up every payment

I had a $4,200 balance on my 2017 Honda Fit last January and just made the final payment last week. My trick was stupid simple, I just rounded every monthly payment up to the nearest $50. So if the minimum was $187, I paid $200. If it was $224, I paid $250. It shaved off almost a year of payments and I barely felt the extra cash leaving my account. Anyone else do something like this without even setting up a full extra payment plan?

Rounding up works for debt too, like how we always overshoot on estimates for everything.

Does that mean you just rounded up or did you add a little extra on top of that?
