I think you should hold onto the car. You have to remember, only part of your cost was for a repair, brakes are maintenance.

That 2008 CRV is likely going to need maintenance (brakes, tires, etc) in the near future as well.

Stick it out until a >$2K cost comes up and is required to fix.

We stayed in Playa Del Carmen and took a bus to Tulum (cheap, school bus Mexican transit type of thing). Absolutely stunning down there. They also have some ancient ruins on the bluff. The sand is great and no one is on the beach.

I am really interested in how a family of three spends only $250 per month on food. That averages out to about $8.50 per day for three meals and snacks for three people. There is no way I could possibly get my grocery bill down that low. Where do you shop? What do you eat? Does that include eating ...

I don't think this is necessary. I go to garage/church/rummage sales all year long as a side hustle. The people going to these sales are prepared and expect to pay cash (thus are carrying plenty).

In many cases, people who have poor savings/budgeting skills use these accounts. It is just a "hurdle" to them spending money that is allocated for something else.

Definitely in a tax-advantaged account. Do not hold in a brokerage/taxable account. Made that mistake and though not difficult to file the taxes, you have to wait forever for the K1.
