I didn't have to sell my car, I just thought it made since just- in-case. My wife and I are gainfully employed and we live very comfortably, but that could change at a moments notice. I work in the automotive business and as most of you know it's a struggle right now. The struggles in the automotive busness here pretty much trickles down to everything one way or another. I decided to sell my car when I could and not when I had to. The sale happened very fast, but I was able to take it out a few times this spring.
I understand your thinking.... It's like standing in a line for a firing squad. You watch people to your left and right get shot and feel that you have to do something extra to protect yourself. And even though you are the only one with a bullet-proof vest on, you still worry. The most amazing thing is the others in the line that do not have 'the vest' are happily standing there looking like they don't have a care in the world and aren't willing to make any changes. They keep plunging, headlong, down the same paths they have been that got them 'in the line of fire'. You are blessed to have the insight to make the changes that the others ignore... That's what makes you a survivor and not a sheep.
