Update on “Am I a Fool?”


Well, probably I am a fool.  Yesterday morning, my son came by to show me his new car in the daylight hours.  It is a beautiful, little sporty Subaru.  The car was expensive.  My son did save up enough money to make a very good down payment.  He also brought all the paper work from the car deal over to the house for me to look at.  Appears that my husband did not understand all the details of the transaction.  All my issues were because I was based on the information my husband told me instead of looking at the documents.  That is what happens when the firefighter of the family instead of the certified public accountant of the family looks over financial documents.  It appears that my husband is the main purchaser of the vehicle thus the car needs to be on our insurance policy.  So what is done is done.  Our finances and my son’s finances will be intermixed for a few more years.  I trust him to make the payments on the car and the insurance.

I did appreciate how my son came over and wanted to show me all the paperwork and talk to me about this matter.  To me that is a sign of maturity.
