Tally Ho! (Two)


On April 19, we began our living our lives with one car. So paraphrasing a question frequently posed by New Yorkers, "How we doin’?"

Honestly, not that bad. A little forethought about work schedules, conference calls, and the kid cartage schedule has helped us eliminate a hefty new car payment and is saving us cash on gas, not that we spend that much to begin with due to working out of the house. We have yet to tap the rental car option.

So to date, the tally looks like this:

New car payments (2) $1,320
Gas $ 200
Rental car $ 0
Repairs $ 0

Total $1,520

This was our approach to dealing with the soaring price of oil. What have you done to cope?
