Cars Eat Money !

Cars eat money, they really do!

First there is the cost of buying one ... all of the marketing is aimed at getting you to buy one that costs a bit more than you really planned to spend ...

Then its resale value drops ... like a stone ...

And you have to tax and insure it ...

That's all before you actually even get it home.

Well there's not much point having a car and not going anywhere

So you spend money on fuel ...

And parking ...

And there is not much point going anywhere without doing something when you get there

So you buy something that you would not have bothered with if you did not have a car to make it easy to bring home ...

And it was a long trip so you stop at a restaurant and spend ten times what it would have cost to eat better at home ...

All because you have a car
