JANUARY 9, 2024

I can remember quite a few years in college and grad school when my part-time jobs juuuuust barely covered my expenses (and sometimes not even that!) We enjoy the time together so much, it’s a very worthwhile splurge for us! I”m not at all, zero percent, truly never tempted by cars.

Our emergency fund has saved us countless times and it will save us once again with the truck. And while I don’t like parting with our money, I am grateful that this repair won’t send us into financial distress. How would you pay for an unexpected car repair? Do you take your car to a car wash?

My wedding dress, thrifted! He wants to retire early so he can do more woodworking, electronic fixing, and maybe work at a winery or brewery part-time. Last year I bought a manual car for $14k in cash, thinking I would learn to drive manual. But it’s a car I’m willing to drive, so I’ll take it!

Make it be known that that that there is nothing wrong in purchasing second-hand items from thrift stores, yard sales, or via classified ads or even online via places like eBay or Craigslist. You can even reward them with extra allowance with the money saved on gasoline and car upkeep. And vice versa!)
