My best purchase has been a dream vacation to Europe with my daughter. We set a financial goal and saved for an entire year to make sure that we’d have a trip of a lifetime without going into debt to pay for it.

At the time, I didn’t fully understand that I would be making monthly payments on a car I’d never own and would ultimately spend more money through fees and depreciation to keep the car when the lease ended. I learned this was a costly financial mistake, and now I prefer to buy a certified pre-owned vehicle that I can pay for in cash.
