In my life I have never entirely had nice thing this, but growing up, things were pretty rough and my pal and I were below the poverty level, however from then on, I worked my butt off to barely scrape by every month as an adult.
- It’s been a struggle from day one as far as finances in my life.
As such, I absolutely don’t treat myself to a nice things. I generally buy the cheapest choice possible, and hope that I can get through another year or two before having to reinvest. That is absolutely been my strategy when it comes to car purchasing. I have regularly purchased from private sellers in currency. That means I have regularly gotten some pretty poor cars, that left a lot to worry about. Recently, I decided I was going to do the adult thing and buy a newish car for the first time, but of course, it couldn’t go smoothly. I drove the car off the lot and everything seemed fantastic until it started getting hotter and hotter inside. I was driving down the highway, first calmly and then frantically, messing with the thermostat and air flow controls as I started dripping with sweat. I could feel the air getting hotter and thicker inside the car with every passing second as the sun pounded down. I couldn’t feel even a wisp of cool refreshing a/c from the car’s air vents. After 10 minutes of this, I pulled a you turn on the highway and went right back the other direction. I dropped the car back off at the dealership and told them this was a lemon. If they couldn’t fix the AC, they better fix my bank account.
