Happy Father’s Day! I hope all of you get to celebrate with your family and maybe have a chance to relax. I know I will be having fun on my golf weekend, but I will miss the opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad.

I only like to repeat my successes. On that note, I want to share one of my biggest money mistakes. I would say it is embarrassing, but stuff happens and I just learn how to deal with it.

The reason I want to do this is because I have a little different view point about purchasing a car. I don’t disagree with the other view points as I think they are valid, but I just have a little twist in how I see it.
