According to a study published by Statista, in 2022, Americans bought 38.6 million used vehicles and 13.6 million new vehicles. It goes without saying that the car industry, even during periods of economic uncertainty, is one of the largest in the United States. However, for the average American, a car is a costly investment. We often search and crunch numbers for months before we make the decision to buy a car. This week, I want to discuss some ways you can potentially avoid the need to buy a car. Let’s talk about how you can upgrade and maintain your current vehicle to avoid taking on another costly and expensive commitment for, hopefully, several more years.
