I considered whether or not this is going from bad to worse. I am weighing the fact that I am still driving my 86' Rx7 because I like it and took good care of it as I do all my vehicles including my 66 Sport Fury which is getting a body make-over. I am also considering the fact that I will always be upside down in my Pathfinder as it depreciates each year. That was not a huge problem as I take care of it as well. It is sitting in the garage with 23K miles and looks brand new...bright shiny and red. I am also middle aged and could retire from my teaching job in 5 years. I might go longer but once I retire, I doubt I will be buying anything too expensive so this might be it for me (who wants to be a high school teacher at age 65?..or older???). These are the pro's but there are cons I am weighing as well. I have submitted a credit app through Fusz (nice folks by the way) and they will give it their best shot. The one I drove almost two weeks ago is still here and I still have my current payment of $644 a month on the Pathfinder.

As a 17 year teaching veteran, I am very lucky to have a good job that is somewhat insulated from what politicians are doing to the economy although I do worry about my retirement.
