Takeaways from this interview:

It’s not how much you give – it’s how you give it (The Widow’s Mite)

We shouldn’t feel guilty to spend and, surprisingly enough, we feel richer when we give.

3 important things to remember when buying a car

Transportation is the third largest budgeting expense for most people. Housing and taxes can consume up to half of the average American’s income, with cars sucking up between 5-20 percent – depending on number of vehicles and if the consumer is carrying auto loans.

However, you can greatly reduce your vehicle costs by remembering these three things when buying a car:

  1. It’s transportation
  2. It’s a depreciating asset
  3. It’s not forever

The way we get the biggest bang for our buck when we buy a car right is when we buy it outright.

Pay off your current car loan quickly, save what used to be your car payment for the next one, and pay attention – not a lease payment!
