Well, it's official. We sold our RAV.
It was bittersweet.
We loved our RAV, it was a great vehicle. Oh brother, I feel the wave of mushy emotion come over me...here it goes...
Okay okay. I know...it's not like it died or anything.
The good news...is that we managed to get another good vehicle. Better then that, we managed to pay down $8500 worth of debt.
Now, an entirely different wave of emotions are coming over me.
It's a feeling of (dare I say it) success!
That's right. We have managed to do something really positive for ourselves in the long run, without sacrificing all that much in the end. So what is $8500 in the long run? It was 15% of our debt. It was 1 year of my bringing in a child for childcare.
So what has become the new 'A to B'? A 2006 Ford Freestar Minivan.
How does my hubby feel about officially being a 'minivan' family? He has taken in really well...and loved it all the more when we had one of our best drives home from the south Island with our daughter.
I hate to break it to you Mini-van-haters out there but if you have a family-there is absolutely 100% a reason why these are the ultimate family vehicles.
They are built for comfort. They are built for convenience.
So we have a small weight taken off of our shoulders...we have a new skip to our step...
and when I have more time I let you in on some neat deets from out buying process...
