Just when is it time to ditch an old car and get a new one? (or different one) I suppose you could keep an old care running just about forever. But at some point you are just putting too much money in it for repairs that you could be using for a different car. When is it time to just stop? My current vehicle is coming up on 200k. I'm just not sure how much longer it will last. Although the last car I had (exact same model) lasted 300k but we did replace the transmition once.

many people swear by the junker-i got tired of the stress and now lease-a lot of people look down their noses at this- i spend a set amount every month rather than unexpected amounts that work out to be about the same as my payments now- i have peace of mind and the dealership can take back the depreciated hunk of metal when I'm done

I for the first time in my life drive an old car.... STBX and I always purchased or leased every 3 years or so...but then I was always driving long distances and he was not handy at all - the person I am with now is and the vehicle is a means to get back and forth places...can't say I swear by old cars now but I love that there is no payments.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
