Happy Monday everyone.
I will try to keep this short: my pregnant wife was laid off due to the virus. My wife made significantly more than I do, so even with her collecting unemployment, our budget has changed a lot.
Her plan was to take maternity leave plus extra time off when we have our son. She will seek employment by the time our son is 1.
I’m fine with that because I want her to be able to do so. Luckily, I’m still employed and currently getting a little overtime each week. I am a little worried though because my company has made a lot of changes due to economy. I’d like to say my job is secure, but can never be 100% sure.
My wife and I have tightened up our spending and do have a 6 month energy fund. We do have two newer vehicles less that a few years old. I’m thinking of getting selling mine. I owe more on mine (2016 Grand Cherokee Laredo) and hers is nicer (2017 Escape titanium). I was offered almost payoff for mine, and I’m fine with driving a beater for however long it lasts.
Would you keep both cars, or sell one to further tighten up expenses?
