The One Car Family

This week, we became a one car family.
When we first made the decision to sell our sedan it was because we wanted to pickup another minivan that could fit the entire family if need be.
Not to mention, we just didn’t see the point of sticking any more money into it when for the most part, it just sat in the driveway collecting dust.
We were just looking to get something used but reliable.
As time went on, we decided we would sell the car and put the money from it in savings for the time being and try out the one car situation for awhile.
For us, this should be an easy task.
With me being at home all day and the Alex working third shift, our family minivan is only gone during the night when the rest of us are sleeping and is home during the day while he sleeps and I need it.
And sure an emergency situation arise, we are fortunate enough to have a lot of family and friends nearby that would be available in this type of situation.
So, on Thursday, we sold the car.
And now it’s the 5 of us (soon to be six) and the minivan we purchased back in May.
We’ve padded the savings account with some extra cash should we need to make any repairs to our current vehicle in addition to picking up a few other items we have been putting off for quite some time…..we might even splurge and FINALLY get a snow blower!!
