I’ve found that one of the most annoying aspects of being a car owner is the insurance. If you use all the safety gadgets. Anti-lock braking systems , airbags, traction control, all these things make your car safer. If your car is safer it’s less likely to swerve off the road, hence the insurance company will go easy on you.

So, the unthinkable happened this weekend – we had not one, but two cars that died. My husband's car was 16 years old. That gives you an idea of how cheap I am when it comes to cars. I hate buying a car, hate owing money on a car, just hate the whole prospect of looking for a car – well, you get the picture.

I once bought a beautiful car seat (the one my last born used) for close to nothing at a garage sale I found on the Facebook marketplace. Car Seats I bet you saw this coming. Of course, I was going to start with car seats; that was by far one of the best deals I ever made. So, what should you sell at your next yard sale?

Unless you live, work, and play in your own neighborhood and never venture outside of it, chances are you own a car or a truck. Most American and Canadian adults own or have access to their own vehicle and use it by themselves on a regular basis. Doing so eliminates car payments, insurance bills, and maintenance costs.

Consequently, I overpaid for cars and real estate my entire life and I let others underpay me for my services. I bought new cars. Although we kept our automobiles for 8 – 10 years, I bought most of them new AND never dickered with the car salesman. Negotiation was not a skill that I learned. My spouse is a veteran.

When we bought our last car, we did end up buying new. We looked at some used cars, but with dealer incentives for new, and the time of year we bought (toward the end of the month in November), it ended up being cheaper to get the new car. What items do you prefer to buy used? What do you think?

Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident. Don’t be afraid to buy second hand items where possible but be sure to check that what you’re buying meets the relevant health and safety standards, especially for buggies and the like.

When they total your car they give you a check for what the car is “worth”. For instance, my car was “worth” about $3000.
