Sorry I haven't been around much this week. It's been busy.
This am, I sent W an email to let her know what I decided to do as far as buying a new car is concerned (old one wrecked). Before you guys tell me I shouldn't have told her, there IS a reason that has to do with the D case that I'm not going into here. I will take a short flight out of town (b/c it's cheaper than renting a car one way), pick up the car, then drive back.
The new car has more room (b/c I need something larger than old car to take the kids around in once the D is final). It is two years newer and much lower miles than old one. Net effect is my car payment will go up $40 a month, and will STILL be below my W's.
So, tonight, I receive an email from W telling me what she "advises" me to do on the car situation, how she would "feel more comfortable" if my monthly payment were closer to my old one (did I say my payment ONLY increased by $40?!) and that she would "just hate it" if I flew to pick up the car and didn't like it. She says this is based on our "current financial situation." (Well, let's see, I am the only one working and YOU decided to file for D, an action not known to INCREASE a person's wealth).
After reading it, I honestly didn't know what to say. Did the email come from her L (certainly possible)? I thought SHE left ME. Yet, somehow she thinks she should still have the right to tell me what to do?!!
I am not buying a house or an expensive car. I got a great deal on a car that I actually like. So how in the world does she think she has a right to tell me what to do about buying a car that is lower priced than my last one, is a better value, and the payment is only $40/month more and LESS THAN HERS?!
