A real life MMM with compromise

[Fastfwd]

A real MMM would have sold both cars and used bikes we already own. Maybe take the bus or rent a car/taxi sometimes. I live in a world of compromise.

I kept the truck that can carry anything including the RV trailer. More expensive than tent camping but much less expensive that 4 place tickets many times a year.
I sold the 2008 SUV that drank premium gas at 15MPG. Got a 2011 hybrid for 3000$ less that will drink normal gas at 35-40mpg.

All in all a good move I think.
- Wife is happy even with the car downgrade
- Newer car means 3 years more before it dies from rust
- Cheaper car means money in my pocket
- Much better MPG and cheaper normal octane gas
- Still able to go anywhere and carry anything. 2 kids with sports and suburbs makes 2 cars very useful

Now my next challenge is to cut the food bills. Buy to a meal plan and stop throwing away old vegetables and fruits.

Is this supposed to be in the journal section?  Or is there a question?

I'm not sure what's going on here, actually.  :)

No question. General sharing. I'll just shut up and read only from now on :)

That wasn't what I was implying at all, I was just confused.  Still am.  :)

A, if this was in the Share Your Badassity section, would you still be confused?

A little, based on the title and first paragraph.  That's why I was asking if this should go in the journals section.  That would be okay too though, I guess.  So less confused, yes.  :)
