So, I was just cruising around the internet yesterday and for an unknow reason, I started looking for used Cadillacs (Matthew has had a Cadillac fetish for as long as I have known him). Matthew sold his lemon of a Lexus last week and we have been a one car house for months now. And, well, I found one. A 2000 Seville STS for $8995. The dealership site said that it only had 65,000 miles. So, not having very high hopes, we went to take a look at it. It was BEAUTIFUL! It only had 1 owner, was taken care of so well that it still looked and felt like a new car! So after a couple of hours negotiating Matthew drove off the lot with his dream car.

I have no issue with the car what so ever. What I am having issues with is the guilt. Guilt about spending so much money when so many people don't have enough money to feed their kids. Growing up the way I did, I lived that. My parents were always in money trouble. There were times when we didn't know if we were going to eat. I am now blessed to have the career I have and make the money I do to be able to walk in and buy a 2nd car. But am I compensating for the childhood that I had?
