Right after my husband graduated college we bought a brand new car last year and drove it off the lot with 7 miles on it. I enjoy my new car but we probably won't do that again in the future. Does this mean that you're worried about me, too?

True happiness doesn't revolve around material things, but it also doesn't revolve around being smug, either.

Nope. I say more power to you. Everyone has their 'carrots' in life...and are entitled to enjoy them.

My 'carrots' just revolve around having enough 'time' to care for my parents and enjoy my kiddos....which means I choose not to work outside the home...which means I do not want a new car and the payments that would come with....

I hope I didnt come across as judging....as I truly believe we all have to live our own journey.

Enjoy!
