Down a car – up an insurance payment
Just disposed of the Dodge Spirit this afternoon. In fact – just walked in the door from doing so.
I am a little down over getting rid of the car, but I am still in a great mood. We still have one car!
When we first started looking at buying a car – I had expected to have to take the Spirit off the road. We were able to handle the financial burden of both cars for just over three years. This is, in my mind an amazing accomplishment.
I don't expect that we will be able to afford an additional car for another couple of years – not until we have paid off the Intrepid, at least. It will be tough – only because we haven't had to manage it, but I am sure we can. After all, there are many families out there that have no cars.
