Ok so FH and I decided that it was about time to downgrade our cars since we dont want to be 'that couple' that owns a BMW and a Lexus yet cant afford a place to live.
So yesterday FH turned in his truck and bought a new Nissan Sentra. The car is nice and has great gas mileage and will save him about $150 per month on car payments alone, but its no BMW. FH works in the city so its basically only a station car for him which means he will probably have to fill it up with gas like once a month which means we will save a ton of money!
Now im up next. I have to find a new car too. I kinda want a mini truck but not sure just yet. With gas prices going up I dunno if this is my best option. I have been looking into Murano's and the Rogue but will not do anything for a little bit since I havent found something i love yet. The Rogue's gas mileage is about the same as the car I have now.
I just cant believe I am at a place in my life where I am starting to care about someone else and our future together. Its soooo weird, but I know that when those car bills and insurance payments come in that it will definately be worth it. As FH says, 'Id rather have a beautiful house than have a beautiful car, and the X3 is not big enough for us to live in.'
Anyone else giving things up in their lives to save for the wedding or a house??

I have a 07 Nissan Murano....I absolutely love my car...but I must say that $60 a week in gas in making it a bit tight and FH has a 2500 Diesel Truck that take $100 a week in gas - that's $640 a month in gas alone between the two of us... so needless to say my next vehicle will be a car with better gas mileage.
I never realized what bigger vehicles cost every week for gas! Gas prices are outrageous!!!! Thank you Mr. George W. Bush.
