In the not practicing what I preach department: If you have to finance
a car, then when the car is paid off, put the amount of your payments
into a savings account of some kind to accumulate interest. When the
amount gets high enough to buy a new car, buy one if you want. Whether
or not you buy one, keep making that monthly payment to yourself. The
longer you put off buying that car, the more you will have towards its
replacement.
