I keep waiting for them to tell me I am out of a job and then I wonder what will happen with our debt and the house payment we won't last long.... ugh. but I am sorry about the bonus. Mine is due at the end of June and I doubt I will see it either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-58933513483480633392010-06-15T12:05:09.052-06:002010-06-15T12:05:09.052-06:00I have never leased a car, and while I don't k...I have never leased a car, and while I don't know much about it, I don't think I'd do it. Purchasing a car that will most likely last a long time seems a better bet to me. My husband and I have shared a 2006 Toyota Matrix for the last almost-five years with never a problem (fingers crossed, knock on wood) except something very minor that was still under warranty. We love it. I did a lot of research before buying it and made sure to get something that would last, be reliable, and earn its keep. now that we're about to have twins and are thinking about getting a second car, I'm considering just getting another Matrix.<br /><br />Not too helpful, sorry! But I'm happy to hear all is well with the Halfling - btw, I'm re-reading LOTR in hopes of watching the movies again during labor (I figure they're long enough to keep me really occupied).sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-12322504238522016892010-06-15T10:13:50.411-06:002010-06-15T10:13:50.411-06:00Honestly, I haven't ever heard really good thi...Honestly, I haven't ever heard really good things about leasing a vehicle...but, if it works for you, that's cool.<br /><br />Good luck with all the GD tests.<br /><br />And, check your email.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791317184998122691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-435684559494710312010-06-15T07:48:19.064-06:002010-06-15T07:48:19.064-06:00I have never leased a car, and have heard good and...I have never leased a car, and have heard good and bad things about it. That will be a tough decision, good luck! It is a bummer when your old car starts costing more than it's worth.<br /><br />We have are big ultrasounds within days of each other! I can't wait, I haven't gotten to see the little one in sooo long.<br /><br />It seems like most companies are putting off bonuses and even annual raises these days. Make it tough, especially when those big bills start rolling in.<br /><br />The thought of sushi makes my mouth water!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-23516599346852404852010-06-15T07:00:32.333-06:002010-06-15T07:00:32.333-06:00I am not a big fan of leasing.

I would really recommend buying an economical car, like a Ford Focus or Honda Civic. My Civic had 83K miles on it when I bought it, I ran over 200K city miles on it as a caseworker, and it worked just fine for our son. It never needed repairs and had fantastic gas mileage.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-23366819755878269072010-06-15T05:07:01.092-06:002010-06-15T05:07:01.092-06:00So happy to hear about your little Halfling doing ...So happy to hear about your little Halfling doing so great!! Hope the IBS stays away. I use to get nose bleeds from having such a dry nose. Vaseline on a q-tip helped me to keep it moisterized. Sorry about what's going on w/ the PT cruiser. :( My mom and sister have been Leasers for a couple of years now, and they're happy with it. My mom usually is about being debt-free so she wasn't up on the lease thing, but she realized that it works out just fine.. g'luck making a decision!..Soo.See..https://www.blogger.com/profile/04969000907987180670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-40218531080398033482010-06-15T03:31:49.819-06:002010-06-15T03:31:49.819-06:00Sorry to hear about your financial worries - going...Sorry to hear about your financial worries - going through a similar thing myself (who isn't? stupid recession!) and it's the worst when you've a little one on the way.<br /><br />No ideas on leasing cars - but how about getting a horse and cart instead?!
