My husband recently had a run in with a concrete barrier in Austin (thankfully, he wasn't hurt) and needless to say we’ve found ourselves in the market for a new vehicle. Yay, debt . The universe knew that our car note was almost paid off and thought, "Not today young savers, not today." The car buying process is never fun, but Matthew and I have completely different visions of what an acceptable vehicle should be. So naturally we had a blast. The process took a year month.
