Car Repair

Well something that I should have know might happen, did happen. Our 1996 Dodge Caravan's transmission went and it needs to be fixed to the tune of $2200. I have seen reports in recent years that this does happen and it happened to us at 92k miles.

I was going to just take the money out of the emergency fund but it is very low right now.

So the plan to take out my emergency credit card and use that. Our tax returns should hopefully cover that

Some of you may ask why not a new car, well we just got 1 car loan back in May for 3 years. I don't want to have a 3 year loan. Also looking at $2200 for atleast one more year vs a car payment is a difference. I am hoping that we get atleast 2-3 more years from the car.
