Saving money buying a car

If you live in a small town like I do, than odds are that you probably buy your cars either used or from a local dealership. Well, if you do buy from dealerships, than here are a few things you might find handy to know. As you know, car salesmen can have the reputation of being wheeling-dealing salesmen, who will tell you anything to make a sale. Well, the truth is that there are two kinds of care salesmen out there. There are the bold, brash, proud car salesmen who are slick talkers, and there are desperate care salesmen who will do anything to make a sale. Generally you will get one or the other when you go to buy a car, and here are some things to remember about both types.

The slick talker.

These car salesmen will spin you every which way but loose to get you to pay more for a car, so here are some things to remember that might help you get the best deal. First, the smaller the town in which the dealership is located, the better off you will be. These dealerships don’t get as much business, and they are more willing to bend a little bit in order to make a sale. So, if you are shopping in a smaller dealership, than you need to be really interested, but don’t give in. Listen to the salesmen talk, try to talk him down, and if he doesn’t budge, than leave. Tell him if he can give you a better deal, than he should call you. You should do this EVERY time. Never buy a car on the first day. When you get the call, you will be more impressed with the numbers, I promise.

The desperate car salesman.

This guy is down on his luck, and he needs you to buy a car from him so that he can put food on his table. This guy just wants to sell you a car, so try not to give him too hard of a time. Of course, just like above, don’t buy the car on the first day. You SHOULD, however, demand a deal that you know the dealership cannot make. Then, tell them if they can get it close, to call you. ALWAYS LEAVE, and believe me when I say that they will ALWAYS CALL. And I promise that they will give you a better deal than you thought you could get, every time.

Buying a car is a mind game at the dealership, so play it. Hey, even if you don’t get the rock bottom price you imagined, it’s still fun, right?

Balancing your student budget

So, are you a high school student who has been having trouble coming up with enough money for everything? Between car payments (if applicable) and other financial obligations, is it getting harder to afford the things you enjoy? Like dates, movies, fast food, and cds?

Balancing your student budget is difficult, but not impossible. See, the truth is that it is hard to be a working high school teenager. The jobs don’t pay well, you don’t get many hours, and you somehow have to make due with what you have. This is harder than most people know, but there are things you can do to be able to afford all the fun things without sacrificing those things that you do need.

First, think about how much you make per month. Then, total up the bills you must pay (things like car insurance, car payments, money to buy band gear for school, etc.).  Now, figure out how much “fun” money you have left. Whether it is a lot or a little doesn’t matter.. What does matter is how you use it. And if you use it wisely, you can be much better off. Read the rest of this entry »

5 ways to save money

Are  your finances getting tight? Well, you are not alone. Everyone else is cutting back, trying to save, and trying very hard to make the most of every dollar. Well, did you know that you can also save a ton of money every single day by following just five simple rules? It is true. Shave hundreds of dollars per month, or even per week off of your spending platform so that you have more money for the things that matter!

1. Buy things in the cheapest manner possible. Did you know that you don’t really have to forgo the things you love? For example, soda. You don’t have to give up soda just because it costs money. But you can find cheaper ways to buy it. For example, if you usually buy it at the convenient store, try getting it at the grocery store instead. This will often save you a lot since soda is considerably cheaper at the grocery store. And if you usually buy cans, try buying two liters instead! This can save you even more money, because soda is cheaper if you buy it by the two liter bottle.

2. Buy generic brands. Name brands are great, but you pay for them too! Buying generic or store brands can save you TONS of money. And actually, store brands really don’t taste all that different, nor are they of lesser quality. And you don’t have to give up your favorite name brand things, just the ones you wouldn’t notice, like Spaghetti noodles, cooking oil, or bread. Read the rest of this entry »

Mortgage

Everyone’s talking about the housing market these days. I don’t have a mortgage or even own a house yet; I rent. Lots of people are choosing to rent now. It’s cheaper on a lot of people—especially families—and all of a sudden there are better deals to entice more people to rent, the number of sitting tenants has increased dramatically over the last year or so.

On the other hand, a lot more people are losing their houses. I see so many empty houses on the street with for sale signs in front. The houses are cheaper, too, for a fast property sale. The owners are trying to attract buyers that have plenty of money and want to make a cheap investment by renovating it later. Looking at the vacant homes, I can’t help but feel sorry for all the people who were facing property repossession and had to vacate. This has become a real issue for many people lately, displacing many families and disrupting even more lives.

Alternative Ways To Build You Savings

There are a lot of ways to save money. This is good, because everyone has their own ideas… and some saving methods simply do not work for everyone. So, here are a few saving methods that even the most desperate impulse spenders can utilize to build back up that oh-so-important nest-egg. Read the rest of this entry »

Insurance: Do I Really Need It?

There are many different types of insurance, with the underlying purpose being to protect individuals from a host of unseen situations. In most situations this protection will cover individuals by providing money when required, as well as protection from liability, damage and financial loss. Insurance can protect individual’s homes, vehicles and life, among other things. Depending on the needs of the customer, insurance packages can even be tailored to fit their needs.

In certain situations there are some insurance policies that are compulsory. Automobile insurance against personal injury in a number of states is one such example. Insurance coverage can be quite broad and vehicle insurance is not different. As a consumer, you can select between a simple liability policy that pays the other party should you be involved in an accident, but provides no coverage if your own property is damaged.

If you require higher coverage, you might opt to take out a comprehensive policy that will cover damages to the other party’s property and also to your own property, as well as medical expenses. With such a range of coverage and many points of coverage in between, it is generally considered that automobile policies can be varied in nature. Read the rest of this entry »
