No, just no point in beating a dead horse. I got what the info I needed, why stay and argue?

Asking for any type of financing advise on ATOT is going to get you harsh answers 99% of the time. Even if you're not financing, you're still generally heckled for "overpaying" for the vehicle.

seems like your wife is high maintenance, just like her car. get it fixed, buying a new car would be a very foolish financial decision for someone in your position.

So following your argument, he should get his high maintenance wife fixed just like his high maintenance car? She might disagree with that. 😀

rdp6...you seem to have a solid base. $10k in the bank liquid is a major advantage. Being debt free another.

Expenses are something that comes with whatever territory. Daycare is one thing I am glad I can avoid. No kids for my wife and I...however, having 4 cats and dog isn't exactly cheap. 🙂

I am currently sending $2k or more to old credit debt...it was at over $80k and now I am down to the last $15k (was 10k but april and may brought $5k in medical, car, pet and home expenses).

Once I have that out that $2k is going to a savings account until I have at least 6 months savings. Then I am splitting that into more savings and additional 401k/retirement savings.

It's nothing compared to having kids...to the point of being completely insignificant and unworthy of even a comparison made in jest.

To the OP, just get your car fixed and keep up on the maintenance. What kind of car is this anyway?

I am willing to bet I spend more on my 5 pets than most would spend on one kid probably 2, so zip it skippy.

Don't know what you are trying to prove other than being an asshat as usual.

Are you putting money away in a college fund for your 5 pets? Do you pay for daycare of your 5 pets? Do you buy clothes regularly for your pets? Did your pets ask you to go to Disney World? I'm sure you'll come up with some example where you paid $15K on some surgery on one of your pets...but normal pet ownership pales in comparison to normal parenting costs.

This, comparing costs to kids vs pets is stupid. I don't have kids, but i've seen the numbers...and my dog costs me less then 100$ a month...unless she gets hurts.
