lol it was me, I confess. I only meant if you wanted or needed a car though, not if you don't. I don't have a car myself, total wast of money
I'm a natural saver, in fact I'm stingy as s**t

And that has got me out of some difficulties but it does get me a lot of criticism.
It’s not you. Others do it including a guy I know locally. For low income people cars are waste of money. Bus works fine just takes longer. But I don’t have a life anyways and I’m not in rush to get places like others are.
I’m putting some of my savings into stuff that can be turned back into money but I can’t just spend quickly. That way I can’t spend it. I’d have to go somewhere and sell it first.
I don’t spend my money on stupid stuff. Like say liquor, cigarettes, expensive food etc, when I do it’s on stuff that be around forever or a long time. So I too get criticism. That guy for example was jealous I was able to buy a gun but he can’t cause his money goes into his nice car. That was over year and half ago. I got the gun half off. I have about 2,000 in savings. $400 set for long term. I need to put more into that. My only way of saving is via my taxe return. I try not to spend it. I recently finally spent my 2015 taxe return .
