Yes you saw that right! I have been thinking lately. Thinking about my mom and all her difficulties in life. My mom has Muscular Dystrophy and she has a hard time getting around, especially getting in and out of her car. Well I was thinking about me and my life and things at the same time. I have worked hard and come along ways recently. I bought a newer car, got my own place and so on and so forth. Well my car sits allot higher than my parents car, mom can easily get in and out of it. I worked hard to get my car and keep it. Why not put all that effort into good use. Today I offered my parents to take over my car and give me there 1996 Saturn. My car sits higher, it has power windows, easier for my mom to use. I have thought about this for the last week or so, and figured that all my hard work could be put to use by my parents. The car would be easier for my mom to use, has less miles on it than there's does, and my mom could benefit from it more than I can or ever will. Plus they can not afford a brand new car or at least the one that my mom wants. Needless to say I might be saying goodbye to my car in the next couple of weeks. Am I wrong for thinking this way, am I stupid for making the offer? I say NO! Why not take what I have earned and fought for, and put it to use with someone who will benefit from it.
That is all for now, must go contemplate on other life decisions now.
***Update***
After more thought and consideration I do not think this to be a wise choice. It would put my parents into more debt, that they do not need. That is something they do not need, right after a major surgery. Maybe a few months down the road I will offer again, but right now I do not think it is wise.
