Now we are closing in on the savings for an '05 CRV. No vacations for us either. 3 kids, and small driving trips (drove us in the Jetta to PEI last summer) but the house is paid for now. and there is no real debt burden. We both just worked and saved.

but I must rant now. How long will people like you continue to act responsibly, when you watch others milk the government tit?
That's my answer to the earlier question along the lines of "If the government program is there, why not use it?"
To extend the question, why would anyone in New Orleans buy home insurance, after they watch the taxpayers pay those who didn't? Why do the families of those killed in 9/11 get taxpayer dollars? Are they disqualified if the deceased had life insurance? Etc. etc.
Government giveaways are the slipperiest slope of all.
