As I watch my 401k, I’ve noticed that gasoline stocks continue to decline. Even as stocks tighten, the demand will continue to increase as we head into the holidays.
Quite often I get asked how long a particular car will last. And I get it because a car is one of the biggest investments many people will make for years. That begs the obvious question, especially when money is tight and cost of living is ever increasing so then, you ask, “how long will this potential car I’m interested in buying will last?”
