Saving up to buy a new car - ama!

Its the first time I will have actually saved up to buy something.

In the past, I just buy things out of the allowance my parents gave me.

Ask me anything!

Out of all the things you could buy, why a car?
If you refer to a new car as in bra d new, how could you possibly enjoy it without getting paranoud as hell about every singke scratch and how would you react if somebody slammed their door into your car?

lol because you have to pay interest, loads of it!

And I feel that the definition of freedom is not having any debt. All my life, I have never had debt. Id like to keep it that way.

hahah well I've never been good at saving which is why I wld prefer taking out a loan or investing in something cos u have to pay with no excuses . I did try to save a bit, got a savings account so that I cld save up and put away a few hundred a month but I keep spending it all :tongue:
You say u don't want debt but surely at some point in the future u will get a mortgage so u can get a nice house? Hahah don't u have a phone contract tho? that's kinda debt :wink:
