As time goes on, and we progress through the process of bringing home our children, we’ve had to make some very difficult decisions. One of them being: How will we be able to survive on one income while driving two luxury cars? Well, the answer was simple: We can’t.
Over the past few weeks, DH and I have spent most of our waking moments together researching cars that would work for us. I looked at ALL SUV’s with a third row seat. DH looked at everything he could. Thats just the way men work. LOL
Seven months ago, my incredible DH surprised me. For my birthday, he bought me a Porsche Cayenne. Their SUV that has 247 HP, a V6, and all the bells and whistles. It was an incredible gift.
Two days ago, we traded it in for a much more peace-of-mind-for-the-wallet-friendly Chrysler Pacifica. More horse power, still a V6, DVD ready, and a third row seat.
He traded in his Saab convertible for a Chrysler Crossfire coupe. What a cool car.
I’ll bottom line it: between that and the insurance savings, we’re saving over $300 a month.
Return on Investment: Priceless.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am that Russia has closed. Someone just sent me an email about this and I thought of you. If you want me to email you the article, just let me know.
And yes, I know what you mean by peace of mind. J. is car shopping and wants the new Volvo SUV and I want him to get a used car. A nice car, mind you, but used.
Anyways, happy holidays--
