Like Lexie, I always thought that the Kelly Blue Book was the authoritative resource for the value of a vehicle.
If THAT'S faith, then I am an Agnostic.
Several years ago, my finances were still all wrapped up with my ex. My salary went into a joint account, and he paid all the bills. I wanted to move from a place I was renting to another.
He INSISTED that we were paying the landlord at the end of the month, instead of the beginning, and if I moved we would owe two months' rent.
I found a few $ to negotiate the deposit on the new place and gave my 30 days notice at the old one.
My ex was AMAZED that we didn't owe the old landlord any more money!
