We will probably be renting a car for our vacation this year. The sales tax, plus the ongoing higher property tax and insurance are really turning him off – and the van does fine if we drive it locally or just for a few hours to the lake. Don’t rent from an airport location. Rent by the week.

The Frugal Girl

When they got married, they bought a duplex so that the rent money from the tenant in the upstairs apartment would pay the mortgage. Alan and I, by choice, bought land in an area with low property taxes. Had we not fallen in love with the locale, it wouldn’t have mattered how low the taxes were, but fall in love we did.

Know what you are getting into with home ownership – it may not be cheaper than renting! When I went back to work after staying home with kids for 10 years, the drive was to a central downtown location, but after a few years, I took a higher paying job at Trans World Airlines that required an hours drive each way.
