<prompt> Human: Hello reddit, Im coming into about 20,000 from my grandma who has passed away. Right now we really should get a new car, we have a 2004 its getting old and run down, having to replace everything here soon. I think that I should use part of the money, not all of it but around 10 of the money towards a new car for my Wife, son and I. Something a little more safe than her old 2004. I think that if we get a new car, we should continue to use the old one until its no longer worth using. My wife insists we get a new car and then let her drive back and forth to work its 60 miles round trip I dont want to put that much mileage on a brand new car right away over the course of a year its like 14,000 miles per year her driving to work. She would like to leave me with the old car in case of emergencies which I think isnt fair considering its my inheritance. should I just get the car or just sit on the money maybe invest it somewhere else?  <response>: which I think isnt fair considering its my inheritanceI think you do not understand what it means to be married. This is a shockingly self-centered statement for someone with a wife and child.
