We have a huge problem: our teenager's cars.
1. Car insurance is bloody expensive
2. Car repairs
3. Extra college expenses
We have an agreement with our kids that we'll pay half if their repairs and all of their insurance.
Saturday, we had Andrew take his car in for an oil change. $800 later...... there went grocery $ for us and half of his savings.
We just spent $300 on amanda's car on bad shocks that we paid ourselves because the shocks were bad when we got the car. Last week? Check engine for O2 sensor. No vlue what the repair will be.
We've offered to pay their gas since we couldn't afford to put them on campus. The vehicles are driven to school and work. Still, the cost is crazy.
We can't get this to fit in our budget and Alex is 15 and will be wanting to drive soon. What are we missing here?
