[quote=Anonymous]Either get family together to talk about finances or pay for it all if you can.
Put off the car for a year then deal with the other stuff later.
That's what family does in times like this.

When my mother passed away my brother paid for her funeral. I offered but he said no. So as my youngest sister was left to pick up the pieces, she lived with my mother, I decided to focus on her. I didn't get a new car. I waited until she had stability. I paid for her hip replacement, her bills, her food and anything else she needed. I'm still helping her 20 years later. Why ? Because she needs help. If she needed a car I'd get that too. Her life is hard enough. If I can help, I will help.

It's hard but if you can do this for your family, do it. Imagine the relief they will feel and they/you can mourn the person without the extra added anxiety. Financial stress makes everything so much harder. You'll get your car. They will appreciate what you are doing. It's the right thing to do.  [/quote]
