Does this seem like a reasonable reason

Rob Im gonna need you back here to pull something like that off.
rich do you even have to ask there are not many people I trust in this world but I will always trust a italian to come through for me though. ok on a serious note I think you should toss the S because even though she knows you love that car she will see that you are serious about your new arrangement. There will always be s2ks, I know if I found the person I turly wanted to be with I would want to make it easy as possible on us and I would sell my s2k if it was the only way to make things easy no questions asked dude So when shit comes down you buy another s2k in about a year until then do yourself a flavor dont stress yourself out, part with the s2k just for a bit =(

You're going to hate me for saying this, but having been there/done that...why get such a big house that you must get rid of some of your possessions in order to keep it?

How much space do you REALLY, TRULY need? Especially if you don't have kids now and don't plan to have any "anytime soon?"

Maybe you need to rethink the size/price of the house!

Is this similar to getting a big V8 SUV to replace a sports car?

The reason itself is very reasonable. Whether it's the best option for you is a totally different question.

Don't do it!!! You will regret it.

Here is why:
Gain 600 by getting rid of the car.
Loose $$$ by her ex getting rid of the alimony.
So, 600 - $$$ = ###
### + current rent = ???
I am positive that in the current economy, ??? <<<<<<<<<<<< any mortgage for a house with the same space.

Dude, find a way to get rid of debt, earn more / save some money and then start looking at options. Besides, why do a couple without kids needs a single family house when you can get a 2000 sq. ft townhouse with a garage for a lot less if beyond my comprehension.

Im active duty Navy. My shift varys greatly. Pete(Fish22) can attest to that. Me getting a second job is basically out of the question because my availablity is limited and I think all the Mid-A guys in the area that know me know this. We currently live paycheck to paycheck just so we can put a dent in some of the debt we have. This year didnt help because we had to replace both units for the HVAC shit in the house that we currently have. That was painful to the tune of 8000+ bucks. That was over a years worth of car payments. Then we had to get new front and back doors to the tune of 2500 bucks. Im looking at almost 2 years of car payments spent on fixing the house.

Melissa has taken a quasi second job selling tupperwear (if anyone wants to host a party in the HR area let me know (i know shameless plug)). She is currently going for her bachelors degree and Im going for my associates degree. Our time is valuable because there is always so much to do.

I am currently trying to enroll in the seaman to admiral program. If i happen to get accepted and make officer my paycheck will just about triple with all the allotments that officers get. If I get accepted into flight school I can bank even more. Once she gets her degree she can make roughly 60k+ and I can 60k+ as well. Then I could get my S2000 again.

Sorry for a long read I'm just laying all my cards on the table
