Frugal Mom's budget wisdom!
Do not buy a brand new car. Buy something a few years ago and then drive it until the doors are falling off. A monthly payment of $200 for 3 years is much better than a $500 car payment for 5 years. Drive the car for atleast 8-10 years and you will save a lot of money over your lifetime.

Enjoy your savings!
