Timing Belt question..

Okay I'm getting alittle afraid, after hearing stories how a broken timing belt can basically destroy your car. I bought the car at 156k miles it now has 170k a year and a half later. I didn't know much about cars when I bought it. I'm also alittle low on funds. I noticed that checking the timing belt is knda complicated. Is it possible to get a carfax, that will tell me the last time it was changed?

No. Only way you can tell is if they gave you records of past maintance.
