I have been tempted many times with the same thinking. But...my advice to you is to 'say "no" to debt'. Not a scare tactic or anything but the truth is our economy is not the best right now and when we are in debt...we are at the mercy of the economy...what we don't "own" can be taken away with just one job loss etc. Yes, we believe God and He guides our steps etc...definately! But debt is a scarey thing. So...my 2 cents is to work on paying off your debts and then pay cash...then it's yours!!Logziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498806038376593403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11864721.post-29485838597432551412008-05-19T12:51:00.000-05:002008-05-19T12:51:00.000-05:00Hmmmm....you're in quite a pickle little lady.

They're only young once and at least they still want to hang out with their parents! <BR/><BR/>We're in the same boat, except I've got a new car bug!! A bit more expensive. My husband hopes it goes away soon and I hope I'm cured with a new suburban in my driveway!! :-)Jed & Carrie Sowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340635036519799983noreply@blogger.com
