Vroom!

Also, I now have a car, despite the Dealership's last ditch attempt not to sell it to me.

Everyone on the internet lined up on the side of the Corolla. Unfortunately, everyone in real life lined up on the side of the Civic, and liking the Civic's handling slightly better, I went with it. So now I have a silver Civic.

I did not, however, qualify for financing (credit history not long enough for the financing department), which means that I had to buy it outright which, when combined with my IRA payment, has decreased my financial reserves significantly. I've got to do something about that credit history problem.

This is causing me significant distress since A) I normally never spend money if I can avoid it, and B) a significant chunk of my net wealth is now caught up in a very vulnerable piece of machinery. I really should avoid all this buying things stuff in the future. It just makes me nervous, which is the state in which I've been spending the last day or so. Plus, I keep wondering if I could have gotten a better deal. Obviously, I need to get hit on the head and contract amnesia for a bit. It will probably make me happier.

Well, I already have the car, and they have the check, so it's a bit late there, but I've got to look into the credit card rate. I'm thinking about getting another credit card, and expanding the limit on the one I already have, just to see if that helps. The credit score I have seems to be fairly good, they just want more items on the list. I'll have to work on that.
