It is as a military family and living this nomadic lifestyle and it's all great. I love living this lifestyle but one of the things. That we have been stressing about has been a vehicle prior to moving to Japan. We sold our car and our motorcycle and we decided to buy a used car.
We arrived here and to be honest. They are really good really good used cars for really cheap prices compared to the states and now. That I'm moving to Alaska which is three times. More expensive the cost of living is way higher. Than I've ever known to be and we're looking at spending you know a good 20 grand on a used vehicle but it's absolutely necessary in a place like. That and it's a little bit stressful and overwhelming mainly. Because we're not ready to commit for something like.
That we've been discussing buying a new car but we're not necessarily sure. We want to I think living this nomadic lifestyle has really allowed. Us to be exposed to so much and we're just not ready to settle down and just thinking about making such a big payment to a vehicle. That we don't know. We want to keep forever is so stressful and also to be completely transparent.
I still have student loans. That I'm paying off thankfully we've been able to pay. Than half of them well we've been here in Japan but they're still big chunk. That I'm still trying to get out of debt and to think about getting a loan just to buy a vehicle and we don't really know what's after Alaska. What if we get Europe we're not gonna be able to take. That vehicle with. Us to Europe.
Because it wouldn't be allowed to drive. It so there's a lot of things. That we as a military family have to consider and whether or not. We want to live on base or off base. What are the benefits and the opportunities. That we have there. That said I want to talk to you guys about something that I do personally to get through. This whole moving process. Because not only does.
