There are days when I feel like May West and Betty Crocker are fighting to see who gets to influence me that day. I really can't say who I like the best. I think May West is way more fun, but, Betty Crocker is more responsible and makes good decisions.
Some days it wears on me more then others.
The Hunter crunched some numbers (always scary) and decided that we should sell my truck. We already have one and trying to keep two large trucks full of diesel is very expensive. Just to fill up one truck he has to work 5 hours. YIKES! So we are selling the newer of the two trucks. Then buying a family car. Ouch. Well it could be worse. It could be a mini van. Yuck. (No offence if you drive one)Then with the extra money we are going to buy a rental property.
The May West side of me is shrieking and screaming and beating her fists on the ground in a full blown fall down tantrum. The Betty Crocker side full heatedly agrees with the Hunter and commends him on his smart thinking a rationality.
Clearly, Betty won this round. I think May West needs a trip to Reno.

Howdy! Been a while since I stopped by. Man, do I ever hear ya on the internal struggle! And the truck one, in particular! We just made a similar decision with our vehicles. We had 3 diesel trucks and, it turns out, mine was the one that had to go. It was lifted and only getting 15 mpg (the others are getting 20+) and since it wasn't hauling anything any more, it was the one that made the most sense to get rid off. *sniffle* It was a good decision and did certainly make sense with diesel presently over $4 and getting higher every day, but still...that was my truck! I'm not a truck girl any more. I drive a sedan now. A freaking SEDAN! I've NEVER driven a sedan. *sigh* All in the name of smart financial decisions, right? It's worth it, really it is, but still...it's a tough one to swallow.
