Can I afford this new car? How much are the monthly payments?
A $22,000 used car can easily become a $30,000 decision once you factor in taxes, registration, insurance, fuel, maintenance, tires, brakes, and unexpected repairs.
And if you're shopping for a car while managing ADHD, decision fatigue can make the whole process even harder. It's easy to focus on one number—the monthly payment—and overlook the bigger financial picture.
In this episode, Jewlz The Budget Nerd breaks down the true cost of buying and owning a used car, including the hidden expenses that can derail your budget after you drive off the lot.
You'll learn:
Why asking "Can I afford the payment?" isn't enough
The hidden costs you need to consider before buying
Why stretching out a car loan can cost you more
Why a pre-purchase inspection can save you thousands
How to build a repair fund before buying the vehicle
How to determine whether a vehicle actually fits your family's budget
What Jewlz learned the hard way after buying more car than her family could comfortably afford

Because the goal isn't simply to find a reliable car. It's to find a car that fits your family's needs AND your financial goals.
Before you shop, spend 15 minutes figuring out what the car will actually cost you—not just what it costs to buy it.
