Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

“We paid off some credit cards to have money to make car payments on two new-to-us gas-inefficient vehicles, thus perpetuating the debt cycle. I was very happy with the credit card pay-off, not so much with gaining car payments. But it beats getting stuck in the snow countless times this past winter and incurring major body-work to my former car. (Oh, and a little bit paid for the load of gravel to create a parking area so our cars don’t end up in snowbanks for much of the winter.)”
