My DD's weddng was put off and has been rescheduled. I had to front all the money. I hope this Covid 19 madness is over by then. After 12 years the mini van was gettting long in the tooth. We got a new vehicle. We were saving since we bought the last one. I hate being in debt. I am old school and don't feel comfortable leasing.
Retirement is almost upon me. Where did the time go? I am still frugal as ever. Still living below my means.
If I had it to do all over again I would buy less "things". Clutter is a curse. You look around and wonder why you purchased the things you did. Less is indeed more.
I still live by two pithy aphorisms, "Out of debt, out of danger" and "Use it up, wear it out, make do, do without".

We are like you -- buy not lease, but sometimes it is good to have some debt to keep the credit rating going.
