I went on a firearm related spending freeze back when I was focusing on paying off all my debt. I have stayed debt free except for using my credit card here and there but have paid it off each month. I have decided it's going to be time to buy a new car in the near future and want to save up a for decent down payment on the new car.
That brings me to the new firearm related spending freeze. My plan is to start May 1st and continue the spending freeze until I purchase the new car. Once the spending freeze begins, I will not spend any of my employement income on anything firearm related (except, NWFA supporting membership and range membership).
I am hoping to be able to save close to $400 a month towards my down payment and I might have to do this through the end of 2022 or longer. I am leaning towards a base model Forester for the new purchase and they are currently running about 26k. I would like to keep my 0% interest payment, plus extra fuel and insurance cost around $400 month. I will have to do some estimated calculations to see how much down payment I will need to keep within my goal numbers.
I just dropped $370 between two NWFA members yesterday. That is only one of many purchases I have made here and elsewhere in the last year or so. I have done well avoiding debt but I have been spending way to much money on firearm related stuff. I have so many projects to do, I could probably keep myself busy for a decade or more without spending another cent. But I have done my part in keeping the economy going
