I drive a toyota and LOVE it!!! It is so nice to have a vehicle that doesn't suck up $ at the gas station and to be able to drive it long after the loan is satisfied is a good business decision.
While financially I have been lucky because I could stay in my house the reality is that I will probably never be able to rich in cash. It is just statistically hard to accomplish after decades as a SAHM when the joint 401K was drained. That reality has forced me to reframe how I think about money and keeping expenses low keeps your options open. My bank balance might not be large but I try to keep the bills lower and that has given me more freedom than many friends with higher payer incomes.
What color? Very, very exciting stuff - Congrats!
