Watching my Wheels Roll Away

Perks of a company car: no car payment, no checks to an insurance company, a gas card, and best of all the decision on what kind of car to get is made for you

Downside of a company car:  the car is taken away from you as a product of your downsizing

On this perfect rainy, cloudy, and gray cliche of day I watched my car drive away.  My husband and I are now officially sharing his Challenger.  We made this decision because:

• not sure if my next job will include a company vehicle
• unsure of new salary thus household car budget
• can not justify the expense if I am not working

I must admit that I am peeved at a person close to us.  They have an extra car that is just sitting in their garage. It is not a classic vehicle or a summer sports car...just a regular box on wheels.  This individual will not loan us their car.  Is this person selfish or am I for thinking they should help us out?

I am not in total despair.  The snow is melting and I have a brand new bike in the garage.  I ordered it on-line last summer.  FYI: when you order a bike from the Internet it arrives in a box.  My generous father put it together last year, but was unable to properly attach the chain and I never took it to a bike shop.  In my effort to become more domesticated, I tried to fix the chain myself, and was unsuccessful.  I also realized the handle bars are on upside down!

Success of the Day: Being financially responsible and sharing a car with my husband
