    What is up with your car expenses. I literally don’t know of anywhere a family of three could get a 1600 apt (I can’t think of anywhere that gets you a 1bd), let alone anywhere day care is only 1k/mo, but you’re spending 1500 on car payments?

      My car is 836 + ins. Fiance’s car 500 + ins = about 1500 a month.

      My car was about 40k full electric so I don’t have to buy gas. Other car was 25k and a hybrid so we don’t have to buy too much gas.

      I drive a butt load 35k a year sometimes 40k. I’m more interested in reliability than savings as reliability to me is savings.

      It’s a constant balancing act. Cheap car pay for gas and repairs expensive car pay electricity and the bank.

      If it wasn’t for my job I’d get me a 2010 Nissan versa.

      The apartment is cheap for the marker but still ostentatiously expensive.
