Major Purchases

Pay for the most expensive years of ownership
If life situation changes could be stuck.

Johnny's Mentor and Method
Pay no more than $ 1,000 per year of the total expected years of usage.
Expect to drive car six years then pay no more than $ 6,000.
This is a lie - I’m the one who likes this guy!

Timmy's Method
Spend 10 cents for every expected driven mile.
Expect to drive 80,000 miles than the most you would spend is $8,000.
This is also a lie - this guy is much younger than your speaker

Buying a Car
Look at NADA book for trade-in values and retail values
Make adjustments
Don’t let them make more than $ 1,000
Buy off a private owner
Don’t be in style
