Budget-Friendly Tag

You shell out a lot of cash to buy a new car, not only in the way of loan payments (complete with interest), but also for registration, insurance, fuel, and of course maintenance. So it only makes sense to protect your investment so that it can continue to serve your transportation needs for many years to come and retain as much value as possible for eventual resale or trade-in. And part of the process includes regular cleaning and detailing. But you don't necessarily have to spend a ton of money on upkeep.

You might think that buying land and building your own home is going to be a lot more difficult and expensive than buying a house that is already built. And while the time and effort required for such a project will almost certainly exceed the purchase of a move-in-ready property, it doesn't necessarily have to be more expensive. In truth, you could end up saving money, both up-front and down the line when you opt to build your own home. But you are going to have to engage in the planning process and put in the man-hours to make it happen. And of course, you'll have to make wise decisions along every step of the way.
