But what about... there are infinite but what abouts. Why not get the next model of minivan up? Perhaps it didn't justify the cost. Why not get a 2nd hand one?

But what about... there are infinite but what abouts. Why not get the next model of minivan up? Perhaps it didn't justify the cost. Why not get a 2nd hand one? Or one from a different manufacturer? Perhaps the cost was affording the best one deems within the means. That extends to eating out when there vs a packed lunch or picnic, things to bring. There's always costs, options. Where, and to whom, you're normalised to allocate or offload it to.
