Yes, currently have 7 months left on my lease and trying to get out early, but not in a rush. Been looking into used but also new cars if I can take advantage of 0% financing. You're going to get better new car deals at year end, but I'm afraid of missing out on the 0% interest.

You should check if you have positive equity. That way you can trade in and purchase a new car. Applicable only if you plan to purchase the same brand though.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

2 MAIN QUESTIONS -

Thanks in advance.
