Here's a thought for those of you with a car. Learn to do your own oil changes and rotate your tires yourself. Also, a simple tune-up can be done by anyone with a place to park and a few dollars for new spark plugs. I don't know how to do these myself, but Hubby does! He's done dozens of brake jobs, and even replaced a blown head gasket or two! He knows how to spot most problems in a used car, and while we have bought many used cars these 30 years, there have been some surprises. But all in all, we've saved TONS of money! Each brake job has saved us around $500.00, and the oil change saves minimum $10.00.
You can also replace your own exhaust system.
