Dilemma

For everyone who has ever tried to save a large amount of money, you know how "little" things can come up to sabotage your plans. Enter Paul's 12 year old Jeep.... Well, it seems that we will be going to do a little car shopping this weekend so that we can ensure his safety while driving around and to his soccer fields 3 times a week (a 20 mile journey each way). I am hoping that this doesn't set us back too much as we are SO CLOSE to buying tickets. We could: A. revisit our route and see where we can cut some costs so that we can just go ahead and purchase or B. Keep waiting to buy and hope fuel prices subside while we accumulate more funds. All of this takes a lot of patience. It's like when you are looking at flights and then decide to wait a few days only to find out it has gone up $300.00 when you check the next time. For anyone who has ever purchased a ticket like this, we are welcome to your expert advice. In the mean time, we will keep putting money away and hope we find a car that is in our budget and not a junker!
