You are right about used cars. I bought my '98 when it was a year old, low miles, and saved about $8,000 over the new price. My husband driving his old car has allowed us to pay down his massive student loans, and now we have been able to buy a house this year. No, we are not rich. Not with the median house price in our county near $500,000. We plan to replace his car with a new used car car this summer.

You may not be rich but with spending habits like you have, you are on the way to being rich.

Congrats on the new house.
