How do you afford the payments??
I need to get a bigger SUV with Madilyn coming sometime this summer (since i dont have 3rd row and its illegal to put a child under 12 in the front seat in NYS) but i'm really having a hard time with the cost of a bigger SUV. So i was wondering how those of you with more expensive cars afford the monthly payments? Do you finance for longer? huge down payment? or just have a huge car payment?
i'm from the camp of pay it off in 4 years and be done, and currently have a $450 car payment for my CRV which we will hopefully be paying off with my husband's stock buyout from his old company and our tax return so i can keep it. we don't have any money to put down this time either so i can't do that to lower my payment
I'm trying to find something used, but not having much luck so i may have to go new with this one
