Last week I went with my husband to look at some cars.
We have been looking for a new car to share because both of our cars are very old.
We have been saving for a new car for several months and we’re almost ready to buy when our heating and cooling system went out at our rental home. With all of this going on, we decided that it would be best to use the money that we had saved towards a new HVAC system for the rental house rather than purchasing the new car like we had originally planned. Making big purchases like such can be stressful and even overwhelming. Thinking about going on a trip and not having a new car when we return was very upsetting. We knew that we needed to say for an HVAC system in the near future but we didn’t think it would happen this quickly. After we got over the initial shock of needing to purchase a brand new HVAC system for the rental home, we decided it was probably best to go ahead and pull the trigger now rather than wait several more years. Sometimes things like this happen in life and you just have to be prepared. That is why it is so important to have an emergency savings fund. Our new HVAC system works really well and we are happy with it. We will eventually get a new car but just not today.
