Having your own vehicle has its advantages as well as disadvantages. For a family with growing kids, I think this is necessary. I felt the need when we went home to the province. It was tiring transfering from one vehicle to another but what is more exhausting is not having a comfortable seat for the little girl. I really regreted not taking the plane that time. It was already difficult having one child, what more when I have a toddler and an infant at the same time. 

After I give birth and after doing a little extension and renovation on our house, we decided that we will surely have to purchase our own vehicle. G has been checking online sites car prices which are within our budget. By 2011, we hope to save enough for it. It can be a second-hand one as long as it is still reliable and with good 'standing'.
