In January, I bought a used car. It was certified by the dealership, in excellent condition, and I do love it. But...it seems to be having some problems. I had the actuator for the locks replaced cuz it locked me in the car once. I had to get the convertible top repaired after it stopped working after a minor fender bender that shouldn't have done anything to the top. I had problems with the car computer after it kept telling me that lights were out. Then, the window stopped working.... I'm wondering if I bought a jinxed car.

I may have an opportunity to replace it, but it will put me a bit further in debt than I want to be. It would be an upgrade for me - one year newer. I absolutely LOVE the newer car, but wonder if I'm being rediculous.

Do I ditch my current car and go for it? I am worried that maybe all these little problems with it will eventually cost me more in the long run than the up-front investment I'd be making with the new one.

then, do you need to run a loop? How far can you go before you need a splice?

The master bedroom has its own bathroom. We would split the rent three ways, but I am willing to pay more for my own bathroom. How much would be fair to pay for that luxury?

I have two good job offers on the table right now and am having a hard time deciding which to take.

Job one has good benefits and a company vehicle. It is 40 miles from my home.

Job two has more benefits, no company vehicle and is 60 miles from my home. This job pays $18,000 more.

The most important benefits (health and retirement) are similar.

How much is the vehicle really worth? I expected a higher salary from job two because it is Westchester County, NY. If I look at a salary calculator between the two jobs, job two looks low. Does that matter since I am not leaving my home and will live here no matter which job I take?

This makes me really uncomfortable - like she's bribing me for a good review. What should I do?
