Cars...

Don't get me wrong, I am honestly so grateful to God for my car, that I have one, (you knew a big BUT was coming, didn't you?) BUT does it have to drain every living penny I earn? I say 'living' because it just sounded the best in that rant.

For the amount I spend on car payments combined with lovely maintenance fees, I could be driving TWO Mercedes. I'm not even kidding. I could have a cute sporty one and one very professional looking one for when I do my professional things like, um, attend meetings I've just called. :)

My parents tell me this is part of growing up. Not exactly music to my ears. See, I've always felt that stuff was reserved for everyone else's growing pains. Not mine. :) I can grow without going broke...promise! I honestly cried when I wrote the check for the latest vehicular catastrophy. I couldn't believe I was signing away half of my paycheck...and I make pretty good money. *Sigh* My friend Nona says, "It's never too late to marry rich." I'm going to have to if I have this car any longer ;p

Okay, I'm done venting. I do love my car at times. I love the sound system, the sun roof, the cushy seats and over all room of it. I just hate how it takes hundreds of dollars away from me every month.

Well, Lord, it was a gift, is a gift. But now it's dying...kicking the bucket, on it's last legs, and I would so appreciate if you could help me find a new one that will help me with my wonderful plans for stewarding the money you've blessed me with. :) Thank you!
