It has been 2 yrs and we have paid off all of our debt except our mortgage. Our van was still in running condition but beginning to have some problems. We wanted to have a paid for vehicle for our teenage son to drive. Soooo, we went ahead and bought a used Ford Escape. We didn't trade in the van. We can afford the payments easily, but it has been so long since we have spent that kind of money (gotten into that kind of debt) that I came home and had a panic attack and then had a seizure ( I have a brain tumor/seizure disorder). Things worked out liked we planned, but I can't shake the panicky feeling of getting into debt again.
I just wish I could settle down and enjoy our "new to us" car. We will be letting our teenager drive the van when he gets his license. He will pay his own insurance as soon as he gets a job.
Being frugal has worked so well for me that I hate doing anything Un-frugal.
Thanks for listening to my whine.....
