The Pathfinder

So in an attempt to cut expenses and save some money I decided to turn the Pathfinder back in on it’s lease a month early. I was almost 10,000 miles below the lease but the payments and insurance were becoming a burden I could no longer really afford. So last week I dropped off the ride back to the dealership.

It was a sad day but hopefully things will turn around fairly soon. Everyone is hurting right now and I’m no exception. So many people have lost their jobs and are now struggling to just get by it’s really beginning to bring me down. No one seems to be hiring locally and freelance is slowly becoming harder and harder to come by.

I’m now down to a motorcycle which serves as basic transportation but with limitations like riding in the rain, etc. I’m sure it’ll do the trick an overall I’m really enjoying it. It’s just limiting. Fuel costs are but a fraction of the Pathfinder and insurance is less than half so those are both very good things. I’m sure I’m not the only one with idea.

So I’ll say so long to probably the best car I’ve ever had. It was a great three years. It’s hard to be positive about a step backwards in life but we’re all making cuts to get by these days.

    Hey Man,

    You know the positives of this whole situation is, you are making great choices. You know what you have to do to stay afloat, and your making it happen. There are too many people out there that haven’t figured that out yet. When things do turn around, you will be in a better place.
    Times are tough, and it brings us all down. You would have to leave the ocean, but if times ever got really bad, theres always a place in Atlanta for you.

    Thanks Matt, I appreciate it. I’m doing the best I can at the moment and I’m not quite taking on water just yet.

Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
