It’s Been 10 Years Since People Went Smart Car Tipping In San Francisco I fear that I am one of the few people on Earth who actually loves Smart cars; they’re just quirky and adorable caricatures of cars, especially seeing them on the roads of the sport ute and pickup truck-obsessed United States. The Smart ForTwo was only sold in the United States for 11 years from 2008 until 2019 before… Read more…

I can’t figure out why financing a car at 0% is better than paying cash The math is not mathing for me. Everyone says you should finance instead of paying cash if the interest rates are low and your investment account is doing well. Let’s say you have $30000. The car is $20000. For simplicity and for the best possible terms, I’ll assume $0 down, 0% interest for the entire length of the loan, a 48-month loan, and let…

Feedback On Debt Consolidation/Car Loan Timing Hey All- this might be a long one, but I’ll try and keep it concise! After my spouse was in a bad car accident with resulting TBI last year, a lot of household stuff fell on my shoulders.
