Car crap

[judecorp]

So the Nissan dude finally got back to me and said that they aren't getting any new cars for the rest of the month and said we'd have to wait. I told him we couldn't wait that long and he said he would get back to me. So I'm starting to think the Versa is a bust. We can try to call a couple of other dealers but no one seems to have them and we can't wait a month for a car. So frustrating. I hope they don't give us a hard time when we go get our deposit back.

We're in the process of househunting and honestly, I don't know how people can afford to buy houses. We're actually looking at cheap houses (for New England) and the monthly payments, with taxes, will be pretty close to what we're paying now, probably. I thought we were moving to SAVE money. Argh. So now Jen will be making less money and we'll have more expenses. Hopefully I won't be taking a pay cut, too, or I'll be working two jobs and the babymaking will go out the window. Phooey.

I'm sure this is just stress talking but right now I just think that I was foolish to think that things were starting to work out. Bleh. We need a car and a place to live, STAT!

p.s. I'm glad that House and SVU are back into new episodes.

You will be saving money...like in a piggy bank. Because ideally you will get that money that you put into it back when you sell it at a later date. Or you can use money against the parts that you own for equity/loan, etc.

SO...you are saving money, just not money that you can see every day.

Right. And it's the every day that has me hung up. To move out there, we need additional expenses like a second car and bills we don't usually pay like water and sewer. So to go out there and NOT save rent/mortgage money and STILL have the extra bills, while earning less money? Ouch.

It's great to build up equity and stuff, but how is it helpful if we can't pay our bills? :)
