If you didn't have a car would you be rich? How much money do you spend on your car each year?

If you didn't have your car what would you spend your money on?

Well I am lucky enough to enjoy a comfortable standard of living whereupon I scrape by, also my car spending does not make any difference to my bank balance in the slightest!

I love my car and everything that I or should I say, others; do to the car for me!
I am fortunate enough to be in a position to afford a better and more prestigious car, but my little Saab gives me huge satisfaction; smiles per miles, as the saying goes!

Two lucky bar-stewards on this forum, and you're both of them

Short answer for me is, YES I bloody would!

Default Re: If you didn't have a car would you be rich

Probably not. Im not poor, but I do still have a budget, and do still save X amount each month.

But I would probably buy a motorbike if I didn't have a car, and if I didn't have a licence, then I would probably just save more/drink more/gamble more depending on how i'm feeling that particular month.

I spend about £250 a month on fuel. £1000 a year on upkeep. So far, about £1500 a year on upgrades.

So about £5500 a year on my car. So probably about the same as what T9 spends a month on paying somone to fill the beast up for him! (going by his other thread where everyone who works for him owns a porche!!!)LOL
