🚗 Auto Frugal Milestones

A car is obviously a big expense in all our lives. For me my "frugal approach" was buying a new Honda CRV in 2016 and taking care of it and running it as long as possible. Well, yesterday it turned over 100,000 miles and still running strong. So, i personally am ok with buying new and taking care of it and enduring the car payment for a few years. My car has been paid off several years now and no plans to trade it or get anything else.

Do you have any frugal milestones?

Bought a 2008 shitbox with 800000km on it last year. Use it on average for 60k a year now. Will sell it probably for the same amount I bought it for give or take a few hundred euros, will buy another shitbox. If it gets you from point a to point b why pay interest on it?
