How Many Miles Are On Your Car?
Don’t let a vehicle with high mileage scare you into thinking that you need something new. One of the biggest habits of super savers and those who build real wealth is driving older vehicles.
It’s a fantastic way to save money. And those miles you put on a paid-off car at 200,000 miles or more are much less expensive.
At some point, the miles on your odometer may start to make you anxious. Driving a high-mileage vehicle may start to make you consider a change. Maybe you have visions of the engine blowing up late at night on a dark, mysterious road.
Whatever the case, you may wonder whether you should drive the car until it dies or preempt that event by getting rid of it.Even the best vehicles break down eventually. But modern cars can surprise you with how long they last. That’s especially true if you stay on top of regular maintenance.

Would You Pay a Monthly Subscription To Wash Your Car?
Car washes are in!
Car washes look much different today than they did 20 years ago when mostly teenagers would post up on corners with big signs looking for customers to fund a school trip.
Now, the car wash business is big business.
A car wash can cost anywhere from $3 to $20, depending on whether it’s a do-it-yourself wash or an automatic wash. Full-service washes range from $20 to $50 and detailing could range into the hundreds of dollars.
Do you like to get your car washed every week? If so, then a subscription may make sense to you.
If it were $10 per car wash without a subscription and $20 a month for unlimited washes with a subscription, you’d have to go to the car wash at least three times a month for a subscription to be worth it. If you only go to the car wash twice a month, a subscription would be unnecessary.

Do You Love To Drive?
Every day millions of people enter a mechanical contraption, enter a huge grid of roads in order to get from point A to point B.
Driving is more than the means to get you places. It makes you feel an explorer – it exposes you to what lies beyond the vehicle itself and brings you thrills that you are able to find all of that.
Driving gives your a special vibe – it makes it dynamic which is human nature, and hence it is thanks to driving that you feel part of nature, part of the world.
When you are driving, you are in control of the world ahead of you. You decide what matters, you decide where to pause. What can be better than this calm yet enriching experience?

Daylight Savings Time Is Almost Here
Daylight Saving Time is upon us once again, and with it comes the ritual of adjusting clocks, includig your car.
While most newer models adjust their clocks automatically, some models may still require manual intervention.
Are you tackling this task yourself? If your car, SUV, or Truck doesn't adjust the clock automatically, consult your owner's manual for specific instructions. These typically involve navigating through the car's menu system and finding the clock settings. Double-check the time: Before heading out, take a moment to confirm both your car clock and your phone or watch are displaying the correct time.
Enjoy the extra sunlight: Take advantage of the additional daylight hour by going for a drive, enjoying an outdoor activity, or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
