[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college kid has a Ford Focus. [b]I think you may have marital issues rather than car issues. [/b][/quote]

+1 The issue ain't the car, OP.  [/quote]

+2! The Volvo is fine. It is probably still better than what your daughter will be able to afford on her own. However, you and your wife need to spend some working on your relationship. [b]Are you guys empty-nesters?[/b] [/quote]

Yes.  But we have basically had a fundamental divergence on consumer preferences. She prefers names brands and bling.  I could care less.  However, she wasn't this way until she started working and making pretty good salary!  She will always make digs like "oh I know you think it is somehow embarrassing to be rich."  :roll: Or complaining after we visit a friends house or the Big Law partner's house why we don't have a nice "big house like that."  :roll: I think it comes from her growing up poor - and I mean really poor.  She is embarrassed by it and I think wants to somehow show to the world that she has gotten away from the miserable poverty of her childhood. Understanding that does not help me solve the problem.
