We just finished paying off one of our cars (the other was paid for in full upfront). We also just finished paying a few small bills... AND we found out DH was selected for promotion.
I want a minivan. It would make life easier on a day to day basis and DEFINITELY easier when we have guests in town or when we take road trips.
DH wanted to go look at minivans over the weekend and I said no. I wanted to say yes so badly... and he was in SHOCK that I said no, but we still have other bills to pay down before we need a car payment. I know we could trade one of our cars pretty evenly for a used Sienna, but it still seems unwise to do so.
