Then, if we didn't need it, I can pay of the rest of the car.

The numbers are important when making financial decisions, but I think most people forget that our personalities- particularly debt and risk tolerance- are very important things to consider as well. So, I'm not really much help here... I would say to crunch the numbers, but pay attention to what your gut is saying, too. Good luck! Catwoman73http://www.twoadultsonechild.comnoreply@blogger.com
