the kia forte. lots of nice options and standard features. the right size. and the price is actually fairly reasonable, compared at least, to other cars very similar.

of course i’m not ready to buy it just yet. hanging on for as long as possible…get through the summer. pay off a couple of other bills first, get a decent down payment together and hopefully, i can buy a car after we go back to school.

my salary should make a jump of 2 steps (brd lost in court to the union) and maybe even see some retro pay (doubtful). plus 1K for a week of training at the end of the summer. and let’s not forget summer school. but that money will go to pay off the old bills.

anyway. i am hopeful i can swing this before the new year at least.

and the thing is, i will REALLY appreciate it when it happens. i’ve waited a long long time and been through a lot of crap with the car and money.

the best laid plans….this is what i’m considering anyway. we shall see…
