<prompt> Human: Through some marraige consueling with a family friend, Ive realized how misguided Ive lived my life financially. Its really shook me to my core and i kind of carry the guilt of how Ive held my wife back by my actions when I thought what I was doing was the right way.I bought a car going on 2 years ago. ive paid the 19k loan down to right below 15. it was at one time my dream car. Its a 14 Civic ExL with Nav I have less than 50k miles on it. Ive tried alot to get a newer car to keep up with the jones but thankfully in hindsight I got turned down.Now as we sort through bills and being proactive to be able to put money away and not live so tight, i thought of selling my car and go back to hoopdies. what factors should i be considering. I sell cars for a living so i know the process part but my question is on the if it is smart to do  <response>: Keep the car. It will easily last 20 years with minimal maintenance. Now go make a proper budget. Find ways to cut out subscriptions and recurring spending that you dont need. Then start looking for ways to make more money or to save more.
