About a year ago, we gave up our nice Honda CRV to wipe out the $700 monthly car loan and save money for a car to buy with cash. As a newly stay at home mom of two littles, it was wild but totally necessary. Going from multiple cars down to one as a family is a huge decision not to take lightly. So here's a list of the pros, cons, and plans that need to be made when discussing this with your partner.

"The ultimate first-timer's guide to Rome! 🏛️ I’ve rounded up my favorite iconic landmarks, hidden corners, and the exact links you need to book tickets before they sell out. Experience the history, skip the stress, and see why they call it the Eternal City. 🇮🇹" Quick First-Timer Tips: • Comfortable Shoes: Rome is meant to be walked, and the "Sanpietrini" (cobblestones) are brutal on heels or thin sandals. • Water Fountains: Don't buy bottled water! Look for "Nasoni" (public fountains). The water is ice-cold, free, and delicious. • Advance Booking: For the Colosseum and Vatican, "winging it" usually means waiting 3+ hours in line. Book 2–3 months in advance if possible.
