She'll continue riding the bus unless she gets....sm
a job that starts as soon as school is out.
I started driving to school the day I got my driver's license, but that was because I was working 20 hours a week learning transcription in a doctors office, working from 3:30-7:30 p.m. With that, being in band and drama my parents were literally counting down the days until I could drive so they wouldn't have to tote me around. My brother and sister weren't involved in extra activities and their after school jobs rarely were scheduled at times for them to drive to school, so they had to ride the bus.
There's no way I'd give a child a brand new car for their driver's license/birthday gift. Here in the Atlanta area there have been a lot of wrecks with teens whose daddy gave them a brand new Mercedes or BMW for their 16th birthday and to "thank" their dad they wrecked it and either killed or nearly killed another person. Even if we were rich we wouldn't just buy a car for a child. Our oldest gets a car only because it was her moms, but even then she won't have 100% free reign over it. She also doesn't have a cell phone and will not be allowed to get one unless she gets a job to pay for it.
When gas was over $4/gall I started riding the bus. sm
Still to..Hate it but it saves on gas and repairs. My DH is home all day but have finally convinced him to wear sweatshirts etc. We now keep our heat at 65. We turn it up on Saturday night when it is bath night. LOL. We have unplugged everything we can think of, but have not noticed much savings yet as we have a pet turtle that needs heat and filtration.
We also change our furnace filters religiously every month. Cuts down on wear and tear on the furnace.
We stock up on canned goods etc. when the local store has it's store brand sales going.
Our local dollar store is our new best friend. You can get the same brand name stuff, but much cheaper. And as far as bleach etc goes, sometimes the store brand works just as well.
I use Angel Food Ministries. It is much easier spending $30 than $150+ for food. They are great and it is restaurant quality food.
We also got on the budget plan with our gas company. I hate paying the outrageous prices in July, but it sure is worth it in January.
