On buying a car

Recently I talked to a friend about driving and he asked why I am not using our family van for my trips to the city. How I wish I know how to drive! Actually I’ve been planning to learn how but my Dad doesn’t want me to drive our van, he said I would find it difficult to handle. He suggested instead that I buy a car. Toinks. As if I have the budget for that!

Oh well, I know some wealthy car enthusiasts who can very well afford to buy the latest luxury vehicles and accessories such as stylish Chevy grills or BMW dash kits. These days my finances are mostly focused on my upcoming Europe trip so… priorities, priorities… ugh, with the rise in prices of most basic commodities, I just have to say no to some extra spending.
