<prompt> Human: So back in October, I entered the Truckload of Prizes giveaway, sponsored by BridgestoneFirestone and Interstate Batteries. To spare you the details of how I found out, its definitely not a scam. Ive been in contact with the Senior Account Executive from Interstate based here in Dallas and I should be getting the truck next week. My question is this: should I sell the truck and pay off some debt, save some, and maybe spend a little to celebrate? Or keep the truck? I have the feeling the answer will be to sell it because honestly I dont have a lot of use for a truck, but its not every day that youre given a brand new vehicle. The MSRP on the truck I picked out at a local dealership is 39,000 before rebates, and if we can finalize the sale before the end of the month, it will be around 35,000 after rebates tax, title, license, fees included. I know I wouldnt get that much for it if I sold it, but Im just curious what you guys think. The debts that my wife and I currently have are as follows: Wifes car loan - 11,000 Credit card debt - 6,000 Recent medical bills - 4,500Total: 21,500 not including student loan debt which is collectively over 80KWe only make around 35,000 a year, so selling the truck makes more sense to me. My current vehicle is kind of junky, so Id be trading that in with the truck. If I sell the truck, then Id obviously have to buy a used car, so Im willing to take advice in that area as well. Thanks for reading!Edit: I should add that my wife makes 25K with a good chance of getting a job reclassification this year and making more like 35-40K. Im working part time while finishing my IT degree and bring in 10K but theres a chance that Ill get a full time position in the IT department this Fall around 40K per year. If these things happen, we may be less strained financially and this could impact the decision.Assistant: Dude, sell that heaving hump of of steel, pay off your wifes car, cc, and medical, and buy yourself a brand spanking new Honda Fit that will last you 15-20 years easy.Human: Best answer so far, lol. Thats what Im leaning towards doing. My wife is weird and LOVES trucks shed be happy to drive it but the responsible adult inside me is saying to pay off debt, maybe upgrade my computer for a little enjoyment, and then buy a solid used car. I do love Hondas.. but I look at a 2014 Mazda 3 for 13K or so and to get a Honda Civic in that range you have to go to at the newest a 2012. I know they hold their value better though.  <response>: Be the responsible adult, you wont regret it when you pay off some debts.
