I know leasing is the worst sham around, but I’m starting to wonder if buying a car is the way to go either. I’m looking at a $15K car and it may cost me $300/mo. That seems a little high for such a cheaper car. I’m not thinking about a Mercedes Benz or the venerable Bavarian Motor Works, otherwise known as BMW, so what gives on these high payment rates? And I’m even putting down a couple grand to boot. I guess financing was better in my youth.

It has been a couple months in the making, but I’m so close to finalizing the home purchase. Just a week away and I get my keys. I hate the waiting and tracking down paperwork…but that’s the way it goes.

I took a look at the ye old blog and realized that I had not posted anything for a while. Low and behold I was traveling the other day and forgot to add the entry. Holding fast on the home closing — one more week and it will be done. I’m so excited.
