Don’t let your emotions drive your car-buying decisions
I was in the 6th grade when I first laid eyes on her. She was a 1989 BMW 635i Coupe that did donuts in the school’s parking lot after class thanks to an obnoxious, rich 11th-grader who got the car as a birthday present. I was immediately smitten and promised myself one day I’d be able to buy such a car too.
The new 6 series BMW came out in 2005 and all the memories came rushing back. What cost only $35,000 then now cost $75,000 thanks to inflation and an infinite amount of new features. I don’t know about you, but $75,000 is a big chunk of change and is way beyond my 1/10th rule for car-buying I say everyone must follow.
I figured instead of spending $75,000, why not go back in time and actually buy that 1989 635i Coupe! My brilliant idea led me to Craigslist where I found my true dream car listed in “fantastic condition with only 160,000 miles”! That’s only 8,000 miles a year I rationalized, and off I went to see the seller 45 minutes away.

Negotiating for perks when raises are off the table
This guest post is from David Lye. David is an expert on novated leasing, which is a âcompany carâ type perk that many Australian companies offer their employees.
In today’s uncertain economy, many employers are reluctant to offer raises to their employees. You may be lucky enough to keep your job, but chances are that you may not get a raise, or if you do, it could be a very small raise. However, if you’re a hardworking, valuable employee, your boss may be able to offer you some âperksâ when a raise isn’t an option.
Here are some ideas for perks you can request, as well as some negotiation ideas for each. Good luck!
