I don’t even know where to begin with this story; but I had shared a bit about how covid and other happenings left our family with some new realities, especially when it comes to our financial well-being, and how we had had to downgrade from our then beautiful, black 7-seater Jeep to a much smaller 5-seater…

It’s that time of the year where most of us are making plans for the year, and beyond. I’ve definitely been in that mode for the past few weeks. But.
