Who does not dream of a car? I would lie if I would say I didn’t. Having a car is actually on my list of things to have since I can’t remember well. All I can remember is I wanted to follow the path of one of my Uncle who had his house and lot and vehicle before he got married.
And if you will realize, having a car means you are exposed to more expenses. Believe it or not, its the truth! Back then, all I can think of the reason why I want a vehicle is to avoid commuting everyday. I thought I can save this way.
What I did not know and realize early on are the following:
- that you need to pay for a car wash
- that I need to pay toll
- that there is this so called car insurance and its renewed annually
- that there are things need to be settled with LTO
- that i need to pay PARKING FEE
- it will not run if you will not buy fuel
Here are the things you might want more if you have a car:
- replace the mags
- install a curt trailer hitch
- change your head light to a better one
- car accessories
- customize the car
The first part are expenses inevitable while the second part are things you can opt out if the concern is budget. Bottomline is, HAVING A CAR DOES NOT FOLLOW SAVINGS, it will actually expose you to more expenses. Believe you me!!!
