In 02, my wife wanted an SUV. The lot at work was full of used XJ Cherokees for 10-12k. But the back seat didn't have headrests and we were looking at having kids, so the 22k XTerra was safer. Guess what we got? When we finally sold the Nissan at 217k on CL, do you think either kid had ever sat in the back seat without being in a child's car seat?

FWIW, paying down credit card debt not only gets rid of high interest debt, it frees up room on the card for emergencies. Which, once you're working on paying down credit card debt, you define differently than you used to.
