At this point I'd just keep it as long as there is no issues with car. Selling/buying will cost you more. Tires are just regular maintenance item. The question is do you really need two cars? Get riding of one of the cars will be beneficial financially if possible.

There has been a lot of talk recently about the upcoming recession. The rumor is that a recession is coming in the next 12 months. So do we need to do anything to prepare for it?

Yes. My daughter is 7 and her son is 9. There should at least be a discussion of how the kids are treated, financially speaking.

One thing to keep in mind, having a lower paying job doesn't necessarily mean you will have a better work/life balance. Some people makes $200K+ a year and work 40 to 50 hours a week.

What I think will be useful for this forum is having to ability to rate answers and highest rated answer will move to the top of the page. This way if you find old question that is applicable to you, you can read/find best answers relatively quick without having to read all answers/multiple pages.

Seems a little high but that's life. Even if they can do it in 4 hours they probably charge for 6 or 7 hours. Similar to mechanics, provide quotes based on 3 hours of labor then magically do the work in an hour because of their experience.
