Family Balance Sheet

After being run ragged for 5 days running everyone around, I finally got my new car. So thank you all for being patient with me while I got this car fiasco taken care of.

Sigh.

Finally Frugal

I was a few blocks from a dealership, and in my panic I drove in there and just left it in the service bay (but not before the salesmen tried to sell me a new car).
