KimThe expense of owning a car
Later today I need to go to our motor vehicle branch to license my car. This little venture is going to cost me $75.00. This got me to thinking about how much money I spend maintaining a car that I really don’t need. The reason why I don’t need it is because my husband’s car sits home everyday and doesn’t move. It doesn’t move because I’m not comfortable driving it. But either I have to start driving his car or figure out something else to do. Right now we pay insurance on two vehicles, licensing two vehicles and inspecting two vehicles. So in a run of a year it adds up to quite a bit of money. And because his car is the more expensive of the two it only makes sense to keep his car. So I have a decision to make. Learn to drive his car, or….start walking.

Did you read my post about me fighting in myself about whether to drive or not drive?
Seriously, I suggest you drive than ‘walk’…
but like my hubby always say, “never drive if you are not ready or not comfortable.”

Well you have an interesting dilemma. We only have one car, for all the reasons you have stated, why it is difficult to have two. However, it is a pain having only one car. Here in Florida, it is just way too hot to walk everywhere, we would need to go. So a friend of ours, has given us a second car, which we can not afford. With gas so high, it is just not feasible right now. We dont have it yet, but I plan on parking it until we save the money to put it on the road. I will admit the thought of two cars is nice, but I am not looking forward to the added maintenence, and gas prices.
