Lemon blueberry muffin bread is in the oven and I have lemon pear marmalade (store bought) to put on it for this week's breakfast. Today I went to look for a new car, and am debating between a 2020 Toyota Camry LE (used obviously), and a new Camry LE, and am really not sure. Living in NYC made me miss milestones that others my age have experienced like buying, well, anything that didn't fit into or with a rented studio, and since moving back to NJ I'm feeling it keenly.

Furniture shopping? No clue. Car shopping? Ditto. House shopping? Well, if I ever hit that milestone it will mean I won the lottery but I would be equally clueless. The largest purchase I made over 15 years was a new bed and I kept the cost for that under $1,000 including the adjustable base, so I'm woefully out of my depth when it comes to true big ticket items.

The one advantage I have is my ability to research, however, so now that I have a pretty good ballpark for the price of this particular new or used car I can check the major sources and figure out what the experts and others have said about the best price and kind of purchase. I'm also betting that no one will walk in and buy that 2020 Camry in the next week or so but considering the market has cooled considerably and many people are putting off larger purchases if at all possible I may get lucky. Financially? Definitely want the 2020 car. With 50,000 miles on the used car already though, the new car may be a better bet for lasting longer for me.

Now that the baking is done, I suppose tomorrow will be research day.
