We Bought a Car!

We bought a car! Not a new car, but new to us. In fact its the newest car me and the hubs have ever owned. I feel like we bought this car quickly, yet we did a lot of research on it...and on the type of car we wanted and I feel like we got the perfect deal!

We have been talking about getting a new car for a few weeks, but with our budget I thought we wouldn't get a new car for several months or until we sold our old car. Although we knew we would probably need to wait the hubs and I were checking out Craig's list for options. I wanted something bigger and the hubs wanted something smaller. We decided we would look into both and whatever we found that was a good deal that we both loved we would get. Bigger cars were more money with fewer "luxuries'. I still wanted a bigger car. The hubs made a point that our family would fit a smaller car and we didn't need the bigger vehicle. He was right. And thanks to him we got a nice car without breaking the bank. He's really smart and logical. :-). I'm a bit more of an emotional thinker. We make a great pair.

We found our car and it didn't fit the budget. Thank goodness the hubs had some stocks we were planning on cashing in, so we did just that and it worked out! We did have to rearrange some categories and play catch up in some areas, but we made it work! We won't be able to save as much this month, but it worked out!

I love our car and I love that we could buy our car on our budget. I love how free we are on the budget and seeing how organized our money is and getting the most use out of it! I am a happy girl!
