I had almost enough saved to do so and then a belt went out which cost me half of what I had saved! I want winter tires for my car, but it's just not in the budget. Thankfully I can work from home on those kinds of days...you don't really have that luxury! For what it's worth, my friend got winter tires last year for the first time and he says it is SO worth it. You can feel the traction and you feel a lot more safe driving in that kind of weather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-63493129102907930152009-11-16T23:34:35.567-05:002009-11-16T23:34:35.567-05:00Haha I win, kinda.

Yes the car is paid for. $35 a month doesn't seem too bad, but I pay that in gas at least each month as well, then there are all the extra costs that come with having a car. I guess it's worth it though, I couldn't live without it!Girl Makes Centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178475518084685735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-38344050661197083362009-11-16T23:22:07.426-05:002009-11-16T23:22:07.426-05:00Boy am I with you!

If so, just do what I do to rationalize it. If all you pay for repairs this year is tires for $420 and you break that down to monthly payments of $35...you couldn't buy a car for that! So, you win! Feel any better? Me neither.Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868520885916090134noreply@blogger.com
