Coming out of hiding.... confessions

Hey all, I guess I've been hiding for the past few weeks... mainly because I don't want to have to tell you all what stupid things we've done to our finances. To tell you the truth though, I still don't know whether it's a good or bad thing so I guess that's up to personal opinion now. Here goes.. We traded in our 2 2005 year cars for 1 car: an '08 Toyota Prius. The thing is now instead of having one of our old cars paid off in 2010 at the latest (minimum payments) and the other in 2011 at the latest; the new car will be paid off in 2013 (doing the min payments). Plus with the new car we owe more than we owed on the other 2 cars. But the thing is, both my husband and I work at the same employer and we hardly ever used his car... so it was just sitting in front of the apartment for no reason. What I had originally wanted to do was to just sell his car (the granny mobile) and keep mine (reasonably attractive =D) But apparently my husband didn't want to do that... so before I know if here I am signing papers to buy a stinking new car. It's like a love/hate relationship with it now. I love how it looks and that it will potentially save on gas & maintenance (oil changes every 5000 miles), but we now owe more in total than we ever have. I will have to update the true total when we get all of our paperwork. But anyways, besides being CRAZY busy with work, school, and family, I know I've been hiding from telling everyone that. Right now I feel like from our own choices we're moving 1 step forward and 5 steps back (at least) lol
