We are expecting our first and I would like to stay home so we are making some big changes to our finances. Right now we have two cars (we are still paying on both) and we are thinking about going down to one.

We live in the suburbs and all of our family is within 15 minute drive. There are a few stores, restaurants and parks within a mile.

There is not public transportation that goes to DH's work, but there is a train stop within walking distance from our home that goes to our pediatrician and downtown. Dh's work is about a 25 minutes drive, he currently works a swing shift.

What do you think, does anyone in a similar situation only have one car?
