A couple of years ago, we got what we thought was a good deal on a car. It was/is a Pontiac G5. While it has been immortalized in a terrible song by Jesse McCartney, the Pontiac has still been canceled and the whole idea was a total mistake. Regardless, a two door sports coupe is a great investment that only increases after you have a child. Have you ever tried to put a car seat in a two door? Houdini couldn't have done that. Well, he probably could have done it, but not in less than a minute, and that's saying something for Houdini. Anyway, I hate the car, but that's not what this is really about. I do hate the car, but it's not the point.
When we bought this POS, we had no intention of having a baby. it wasn't even in the plan. By the time we were going to have a baby the car would be paid off and we could drive it off a cliff if we wanted. Well at least there has been one lesson learned, you never know what the future holds, so don't do anything just for today. Like, right now, we're remodeling our new house. All the things we're buying, we are thinking about the future. Ceiling fans? Buy one for the future, not just for today. It's times like this when a little bit of extra money spent up front will pay off later. I think it even applies to the time we're spending with Evy right now. It's as if we have to take advantage of every opportunity afforded us from now until we're dead in order to make up for this Pontiac accident. I'm sure it'll be alright though, most people only make one financial mistake their entire lives, right?
