April 30th, 2009

lala2007 asked: I am a twenty year old junior in college who only makes about 1000 a month. My car is holding up okay, but I know that I will need a new one within the next two years or so. I know it would be impulsive and stupid to try to take on a car payment right now, but does anyone have any advice on how to save for a car? I am a shopaholic, and could probably save a lot if I could curb my shopping habits. I would really like to have a new car within the next couple of years, and hopefully a nice car. There has to be a way to accomplish this!
