We bought a car two years ago, Dave Ramsey-style. We traded in our front-wheel drive minivan and paid cash for the difference. (Thank you, house sale!)

Provision for the Path
I was recently challenged to take my husband on a date and to remember how we met, to think back on our story. To not talk about kids or work, but to reminisce about our journey together. So we did.
