    I wanted a new car anyways, and rates on car loans are way better than rates on credit cards or jewelry loans. How is using equity from paid-off assets being bad with money? She’s happy, I’m happy, and we’re doing well.

      It’s funny to me how you’re downvoted on this, sounds like you made a great investment in love and happiness.

      It seems online dwellers are so caught up in their own arbitrary social norm that they seem to forget that there’s more than one path through life.

      Keep on doing what’s right for you!

        Thank you, and I agree. It’s interesting to me that the majority opinion on this site is that hoarding money is greedy and evil, yet those same people also refuse to spend it on any major life events. What good is our money to us if we can’t use it to make our loved ones feel appreciated, and our major life events special?
