Earlier this year, I scrimped and saved every dollar I could spare to buy my own car. Owning a car was my personal way of becoming fully an adult because now I could go anywhere and do anything I wanted to. It was a really big deal for me. It was used, old, dirty, and had some engine trouble. I cleaned it and fixed it up myself. However, now my mom has asked if I'd be willing to trade cars with her because she's getting on in age a bit. Also, she had major surgery recently that makes it difficult for her to get in and out of her very close to the ground car. It shouldn't be a big deal, really, her car runs fine and is actually worth more than mine. I know that I should say yes immediately, anything to make my mom's life a bit easier. As terrible, shallow, and materialistic as it is, I don't really want to. It's like that's my car, you know? It was a huge deal for me, and it's practically my baby as horrible as I feel to say it. Can you please give me the verbal kick in the pants? I need to stop being selfish and do the right thing?
