We bought the SUV!!!!!

I'm super excited, but really really nervous, lol.
We got an amazing deal on an SUV. By going out of town to pick it up (4 hour drive) we got it for $3000 less then anywhere else! Its a 2007 FJ Cruiser with 50,000 km (about 30 000 miles). I stuck to my budget and have a 3 year car payment at $350 a month. Its going on the CC and then I am cutting up the card and treating it as a car payment. I will continue snowflaking little bits here and there but am going to relax a bit and focus on savings. I need to ramp up my savings account.
I'm very excited, but also nervous. Its the first car payment I've had in a while!! I can do this! Yay!




Goal #1 $UCCE$$!
Congratulations, Bex!!!

Thank you, Bex!
I joined Weight Watchers several months ago and am AMAZED at how well it has worked for me.
Sounds like a great deal and you have a good plan for the payoff.
Lol you sure can ask

OK, and I do agree on the Ugly!
I'm glad that people can have a life on this board. Good for you. You give us all hope!
Congrats and where did you find such a great deal on that!
We found it online in the autotrader. We researched the kind of car we wanted, got an idea of price and test drove a few in the area. Then we got an idea of what my car would be worth.
We found one a few hours away and called and negotiated. It turns out that a few hours drive makes a HUGE difference in price. I would call around and see. Check autotrader, Craigslist, Kijiji etc. If you have cash you can probably negotiate some great deals!
Good luck!
