I finally feel like an adult! Yes I am 52 years old with 5 kids and grandkids but I finally did something that is very adult. We purchased a new car without a hassle or worry about whether we can afford it?
Let me give you the back story. Lily was accepted into the Disney College Program. She will be at Disney working and taking college classes from Aug to January 2nd. She purchased her 2007 PT Cruiser about 5 years ago. It is a cute little car and perfect for driving around in Lexington and the surrounding area. I would not feel comfortable with her driving even 30 minutes to and from work each day. Kendall is turning 16 this summer and will need a car to drive in Lexington and the surrounding area. So after some prayer and discussion, between Matt and I we decided that it would work best if I purchased a new car. Kendall purchased Lily’s car for fair market value, this money became a down payment for my Equinox . LIly will be paying $50 a month for the Equinox until she gets a real job and can make a real car payment.
I have known about the need to purchase a new car for several months and even put it on my list of goals for the summer.
But life happens and the timeline to purchase a car has become very urgent. On Monday, I found and purchased a 2022 Nissan Rogue. This was a fairly easy process.
Second goal for the summer has been met.
