Good afternoon, everyone! The snow is on it's way here as way. We're predicted to get about 4 inches as well. We had plans for this evening, but have canceled. I don't want my parents to be on the roads and I really don't want to be either.
We're headed out shortly here to look at two new vehicles. Up until about 10 pm last night, I didn't even know that was in our cards for another for years. DH has been doing some major money crunching the last couple of months, which I have talked about over the last couple of days with our cable, plus with our insurance (car, house, life, etc) - just with our cable/internet and our insurance bills we are saving over $200 a month. Plus, we are looking at other stuff that we truly barely ever use like Sirius Radio, because with our cars having bluetooth, the phone connects automatically to the car when it starts and connects the music, stuff like that. Anyway, our BIL is a car salesman and DH has been wanting a truck. I guess they have been talking (news to me) and he can lease him a truck for 3 years, get a 2019, with a lower payment than the 2015 GMC Terrain that he has now, which is SUV. Then, I have 2016 Honda Pilot, which we just bought a year, but overpaid for it and took out a bigger loan than we wanted to, but REALLY wanted the car and really thought we needed a 3rd row vehicle because the kids were getting bigger again and knew we wanted to get a another dog again. Turns out, we don't and we want to get this car paid off and get out of this loan. Acura, which is also made by Honda, just the higher end, has the smaller size of this vehicle, has half the miles of my car, but the same year, which I am okay with and we'll get a smaller year loan and probably pay better or just a little more, which I am okay with too for mine. It's a total win, win and I am game. My vehicle is a different place than where my BIL works, so it sounds like we're going to get mine total, since mine is pre-owened, so it doesn't get sold, then go get DH on Monday, but again, I totally wasn't expecting to be doing any of this today, but again, anything to save money!
Hope you're all having a great day and stay safe if you're being affected by the weather!
