We need a new vehicle. However, both I and my wife REFUSE to get the death VAX. We both work for the government. I told her straight up, by this fall they are going to mandate it and we will BOTH be unemployed. I've been preparing for this and we have a bit of saving to carry us through. However, we don't have the finances to buy a new car if we are both going to be out of work. On top of that, the car market is FUBAR right now. I refuse to buy at the top of a car bubble. She's getting very frustrated. But we have to plan for the worse and pray for the best.
Need as In I promised my 2013 Jeep to my son who is in the Air Force and needs a vehicle. I'm currently sharing it with my daughter who no longer has a vehicle. I'm not a mechanic and have no desire to learn how to be a mechanic. So yes, I actually NEED a vehicle to get to work. Do I want to drive a beater? Not really. I can easily afford a brand new vehicle but that's not the point. The point is I'm not going to saddle myself with a car note if my wife and I both get let go for not taking the death vax. I could pay cash if I wanted too, but that would destroy my savings. Also, 2 year of cars are going for more than what the buyers paid right now. Think about that for a second. The car market is completely out of whack.

I agree with you, don't take on any more debt until you know what's going to happen with your jobs. Stay strong!
