When we were looking for a house, we looked at one that two down and across the street from the one we bought. I can literally throw a frisbee and hit the other house. Funny how it works out that way. I want to say it was the lack of a basement is what was the final straw for us, but the house we got was 30k cheaper.
Smiled - Over the weekend we found a perfect car to replace my wife's aging trailblazer (it just hit 300k). It is everything she wants at a decent price.
Ticked - Thanks to surgeries and pet issues, we dont have enough in the bank to cover the price of the car without killing savings, so we have to finance half of it. I hate financing things, house withstanding. When my car hit 120k, I started throwing $100ish into a saving account every paycheck. So when it needed to be replaced, 130k later, I had pretty much the entire car paid for already. I know that is not something everyone can do, it is just what I did. I just hate it.
