Well, I could have just bought it. But it's a 0% interest loan. Same thing I did with my other two luxury watches, and it's almost done. Having a two year commitment to it definitely keeps me from looking at any more! I really like watches. It's probably my last one for a long time, anyway. Kids are expensive. $8600 for a watch over two years is cheap compared to $15k a year just in childcare. That's just one kid.

You can have a car for a lot less, but we have relatively new cars and I opted for a lot of insurance for my own peace of mind. If we had any public transit options, we could get by with one car for sure. But there is nothing here. There is a city bus system that primarily caters to the low income, which is a great start. But it really only goes to like, the grocery stores and the urgent cares. Nowhere near our daycare, and definitely way short of the 30 miles to my office. We also have a shuttle bus that you can call for, that's only $3 a ride, but thats really just for the disabled and elderly. I'd say we have better transit than a lot of metropolitan cities I've been to, but obviously our society is completely car-centric.
