#2Should be no problem for you, though. $225 a week is nothing for you, remember? You spend over $100,000 a year eating steak eleventy times a week.Comment -

#7Here is the problem with buying a Prius.
It costs at least 3k more for the cars that "saves on gas".Work that into your payments at whatever % you have to pay.Say the car lasts 7 years.Say the car gets twice the mileage as the old one.Say you fill up once a week.Say it is 16 gallons.That has you buying 8 gallons a week.Say it is 1.00 dollar more.Eight bucks a week times 52 is 416.00 a year. 416 times 7 years is 2912.00 dollars .But you paid at least 3K more and financed it at probably 4% average so add 300.00 more at least.All you did was give more of your money to Ford and the bank instead of less to Exxon.
Try this:
Get a gas card that gives you 5% back on gas purchases that is convenient for you. Go there on 5 cents off Wednesdays if they have that.Fill up every Wed. or whatever..40 cents times 52 times 7 =145.60.That plus 5% of the 2912.00 times 7 years is 1019.20. Total savings is 1164.80.Just be sure to pay it off each month.But you would be paying for gas with cash otherwise so that should not be a problem.
Not much but it's more than you have otherwise and at no inconvenience.
Now I realize that it is good to "go green" but the only "green' that most companies are worrying about is the green that they can make off of you.Comment -
