Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow. My Bikes at Work trailer is now about 20 years old. Dollar cost averaging makes it seem CHEAP now. The thing will last forever. Longer than you unless it gets stolen.
Not to get too far off course here but when i am short on cash I have a second credit card (I generally keep a ZERO balance on both) that I keep squirreled away for "necessary" purchases that I really can't afford. Yeah, I pay a little interest but I generally get what I want when I need it. Normally I pay off $1000 in 3-4 months if I don't need a root canal in the meantime!
Just a suggestion. The trailer you want, as you described it, is a Bikes at Work. It exists. You just have to adjust your spending thermostat or waste dollars on something you likely will not be happy with.
Cheers.
