It seems I need to buy a car. I've known for nearly three weeks and have been stuck somewhere between denial and avoidance. I've been battling with myself to make a smart financial decision, a practical decision and still meet my list of SUV dreams.
I could get a roommate and buy the car of my dreams... or I could continue to rock the mortgage solo and drive a clunker. I could buy a trusty new car or try not to get worked over on a used car. I could buy a car down here or try to get back to Maryland where I can rely on my car salesman brother.
I'm not the best decision maker, but to make any or all of these stress me out more than usual. In reality, I think the idea of making them alone stresses me out more than the actual act of making the decision. I am a strong, independent woman wishing I had a guy to swoop in and make all the right decisions with me. Ugh the feminist in me cringes at the thought, let alone actually seeing the words in black and white, but there it is... I'm leaving it here and moving forward... stepping out of denial and avoidance and into acceptance and car purchasing.
