7. Choose the right car, and use it wisely
When buying a vehicle, always go for used ones and obviously check they are in good condition, too. Experts say new cars lose 10%-15% of their value the moment they’re driven off the car showroom. Also, make sure you choose a fuel-efficient model, as that in itself can lead to thousands in savings in the long run. What’s more, you can avoid doing unnecessary car trips by taking a minute to plan out your day carefully, such as walking or using cheaper public transport.
