The single biggest thing I struggle with. Living a little now and enjoying our everyday life as opposed to saving everything for the future. I don’t disagree with this article. It’s obvious that she put a TON of thought in to the decision, which tells me that she isn’t flippant about buying the new car.

Consumer debt is driving a lot of bankruptcies. 2 million last year. Here’s a great quote from the article: “The rule that I like to use is if it’s $10 or $20, pay cash for it,” Ninfo said. “If you can eat it or drink it, pay cash for it. And the best example of that is reported in the Wall Street Journal. When McDonald’s started to allow people to use credit cards instead of paying cash, the average sale went from $4.75 to $7. Need I say more?”

Uhh.. I’m with you. I’d rather plan all day than deal with kids right now =)
Those stores aren’t taking credit cards to make your life easier! Which is why I don’t feel bad anymore using them even for things I can eat for the cashback.
I meant not “the” usual fare, not “your usual fare” =P It’s nice to read different articles.
