All I hear is "excuses this, excuses that"...
If you say "it's necessary", it means you have already decided you don't want it any other way.
There are always options...
Sell the house, cancel the lease, move into an rv.. (which allows you to sell the other car as well)..
Or move into a temporary crew accomodation..
Or move into a motel..
No offense-but I heard it all (from people earning close to a quarter million a year, with no money in the bank because "there was no way they could save it, although they only spent money for really necessary things"..
