Boy this gets better each day. She is at work today and we actually talk on the phone twice today. Yesterday her car was not running right - and she borrowed her B's car to get home. So she tells me that she talked to her girlfriend to get her in touch with her relative that is in the car business. Just last week she was bitching at me to replace my car since the tranny was going. So now she wants a new car and even said that maybe I should get a used 5 year old car. Hmmm I drive 30K miles each year so the used car should last like a year or two.
So being the financial idiot I tell her what the monthly payment will be for her $35K new car and what the payment would be for a $23K car for me. Keep in mind that we just are in the turnaround time after some tough financial times.
Let's see: New Wardrobe since she lost some weight Want's a trip to Switzerland for her birthday And a New Car
I feel like telling her it is time to go to work full time (both sets of parents are more than willing to watch the kids) as I am in no position to put our family in financial ruin. Furthermore I feel like telling her that I just can’t see the future right now, so if you really want a car pursue it yourself and have your Mommy or Daddy cosign for it.
Have a nice evening – going out with the boys to have some beers and peanuts.
