It suddenly dawned on me that people around me have been getting new cars.

1. Simon = Blue WRX
2. Tita Josie = Graphite CR-V
3. Joel = Silver Tacoma
4. Peter = Black Prius (the cool one...not the ugly echo wannabe)
5. Justin = Rust Element

I'm sure there are more.

I've decided to set a long term goal for myself. It's about time I took responsibility for myself...obviously, the payoff will be BIG.

What do you think of this?



The Scion xB has always intrigued me. I've been wanting a new car...not that my 1997 Civic isn't serving me well. I think that if I decide to make a large goal happen, I'd be able to do anything I put my mind to.

I'm not TOTALLY set on this car...but its the best bet for me.

The mileage is pretty good. The price is right. I'll post details later.

What do you guys think? Am I nuts? I think the car's hot! ha.

haha...I said, "nuts."

Gosh, just talking to my brother about this whole car thing really makes me want to do my homework.


NOTE TO SELF:

Before getting started: Do your homework about the car!

Step 1: Get a job and pay debts!
Step 2: Stay consistent and SAVE consistent
Step 3: Set down payment to $3500
Step 4: Have Mom co-sign (which she will. ha.)
Step 5: BUDGET BIG TIME -- SACRIFICE AND RATIONALIZE
Step 6: Stay patient
Step 7: SUCCEED

I'LL be taking the credit, thank you.

you're getting an xB whether you like it or not.

or get a fully loaded Prius, cause that's the smartest thing anybody could ever do.
