This post came into my mind 3 weeks into trying to find a suitable small car to save on gas because my truck averages $25 a day in fuel.
I was on the phone talking to them about my situation, they were buying a car also. I was explaining why I still haven't bought a car yet and I was explaining that the market was short on small cars because everyone was broke. He never really understood my points because he was looking for a SUV, an SUV like every other person I know who got tax money back. he was telling me about the deal he was getting on his SUV and how he could not wait for them to call and tell him his was ready. Even after me telling him how much my truck burned up in gas a day. I don't know what to say or think about the situation. He thinks I am dumb to spend my money a small car that no one would want when I could use that same money to buy something nice and "pimpish" is the word he used.
Why am I the only black person I know who understands that I will be making money by spending my money on a smaller car? The math is simple:
$25 a day x 30 days = $750
Versus
$10 a day x 30 days = $300
So every month driving the smaller car to work saves me $450 - and that is going to go up as gas prices do, and they will. But nevertheless every time someone in the hood buys a car it is a gas guzzler or a truck. I plan on saving $5000+ this year simply by using my brain and not caring what people think. Makes perfect sense to me, why am I the only one?
I don't want to call my people idiots but that is sure an idiotic move. And that is but one thing in a multitude of things that we seem to naturally do Bass-Ackwards. I never got the whole we are poor so lets buy the most expensive everything and then complain when our cable or lights or phones gets shut off, thing. Either way, I can't change it so I will make my life better by letting my transportation bill pay for my lights and cable and phone.
