Best cars for teens
In about 5 or so years, we will have a teenager who is old enough to drive in our household. It's hard to think that our Hayden will be able to sit behind the wheel and drive off without an adult in the car. Seriously, I'm tearing up already. This has gotten me thinking about a plan for a car for him. It is never too early to figure that out. When I grew up, I didn't get a car however, my husband got a used car roughly 10 years old.

Do you need to improve your gas mileage?
I currently have a pretty gas efficient car. It was one of the top priorities on our list when we purchased this car because we didn't want to have to pay a ton for gas. It has worked out well for us; I average about 34mpg driving citywide but could get it up to 40+ mpg if we travel. The problem is that we don't plan on keeping this car forever. Our kids are getting bigger and space is taking president over gas efficiency. I'm a little sad about that but what can you do. I'd rather have my ... View the Post
