RE: A fork in the road
Going to a dealership to buy a car can be intimidating. They want it that way ? because dealerships want to make the best possible deal for them, and not for you. This isn't to say they're dishonest (well, they might be) but you have to come prepared to make a good car deal. For instance, make sure you know exactly what makes and models you want, the price range you have to work with, and exactly what extras you want. If you're going to get a new car in 4 years, you don't need a 20 year warranty. You don't want to need payday loans to make a payment on more car stuff than you needed or wanted.
