<prompt> Human: Hello, rpersonalfinance, I would love for you to weigh in on a big decision I need to make for my wife and I. I am in the military, making about 2k a month with no house payment and no significant bills. My wife is a civilian and has college loans on the tune of about 900 a month Bachelors in biology. Heres where it gets interesting- we got orders to England. We are very excited, and also scared.However, my wife is very hesitant on the job opportunities for her over there, if she can find a job to pay her student loan debt. So she wants me to sell my pride and joy, my 2001 jeep cherokee. I have poured my heart and soul and wallet into this thing, with a new engine and suspension and tires. The thing is running like a watch and I expect it to for many years to come. A friend is offering 6.5k for it, and I am weighing it over. However, if you havent noticed, I love my jeep. I am not making any payments on it and It will sit in the states while I am over there and be driven occasionally by family. We have a vehicle that is also paid off that will come with us to England. Also, we have about 5k saved up as of now.So, what do you think of my situation? Should I sell or do you think I would be OK over there without selling? Thanks!  <response>: As a bit of a car-nut myself, I can tell you one truth thats likely to re-emerge in your thoughts in some number of years.As you get older, cars turn into tools. Now, I love my Corvettes, Im on my 4th one, but I know full well its replacable, and that project cars Ive had those too tend to fall by the wayside to taking care of the kid, having reliable transportation, and remodeling the bathroom.Unless you dont plan to have kids or buy a house, the vehicle in the driveway is going to turn into something you want to care about but just... dont so much anymore.Sell it. When you return, if you have the money, time, and inclination, youll buybuild another.
