Good for you for being strong in spite of the lure of the new truck!

I'll be getting a big bonus in Jan, and my friend suggested I use it to buy a new car. I thought about it for about 5 minutes. I could buy a used 4WD car with cash and not have to worry anymore about how I am going to get to work in the snow. But my personal "get out of debt" plan calls for me to pay off as much debt as I can first, and I could wipe out 5 credit cards/lines of credit with this bonus check.

I think I'm gonna stick with Plan A. Plan B is tempting, but as long as my friend keeps giving me a ride into work on the bad days (like he's done for the past 4 years), I don't really NEED a new car.
