Great Online Bargain Shopping

Kayla asked:


I am looking to put down at a dealer about 5/6k. I am shopping for a first car, and I really have my heart set on the Audi a4. I believe I could probably get one for under 15k, maybe around 12k. Especially these days with the car industry not being so good. I know I know, check kelly blue book right? well I have and its set i believe around 15/16k but ive seen them online for less.

What do you think is the best deal I could get?
I think I could get a decent deal these days, what do you think?

anything helps! thanks!

Because it took me a year. Why so long, I wonder?

My husband left me after I put him through law school. He left me for a younger (but uglier…sorry) law student. I was KILLED. I cried every day for months, I begged and pleaded (now you know how attractive THAT is), I put her down, I contacted her and told her that she was ruining my life and stealing my husband (gee, I can’t believe a woman who knowingly dates a married man doesn’t care about his wife’s feelings), I was angry and petty and mean, I bargained with God (yeah, God doesn’t make deals), I pleaded with God (worked about as well as pleading with my cheating husband not to leave me after I helped him through the lean years and he’s going to be a success). Anyway, I used to read his and her myspace and blogs. I don’t know why…I guess just to know what they were up to. Well, they were dating and having fun and having *** and his family loves her. Think that made me feel good about myself? HELL NO. Did that stop me from reading it, and even looking for it? HELL NO. I’ll never understand why I willingly and knowingly subjected myself to that hurt, but then one day, like a year later, I was online and I realized, “Hey, it’s been a day since I’ve read his or her blog or myspace or facebook”. And then it dawned on me - I don’t have to read that or subject myself to that. It hurts and I know it will so I don’t have to do that. It was at that point that I took back control. These people who don’t even care about me don’t get to dictate how I feel. Sounds so simple, but it was hard to realize and it took forever to get there. But I did. One day turned into two and so on.

Anyway, I ended up filing for divorce (which pissed him off b/c who wants to be dumped on paper, even if you know in your heart that you are the dumper, not the dumpee), I got a divorce. And he got arrested for DUI and she dumped him because he was “bad for her career”. Then he begged me to take him back and I didn’t even respond. Now he can’t get hired at any decent firm because he’s considered such a risk, I went back to get a Ph.D. in child psychology (my lifelong dream), and I don’t laugh when I think about the past, but uh…damn near close.

Poetic, just because it took me a year doesn’t mean it will take you a year. I had been in love and (as far as I knew) happily married to who I thought was the man of my dreams and my best friend for five years, and I felt used and discarded because he made it clear that he only used me and now that he was done and didn’t need me anymore, he was moving on. But yes, the fact that the woman he was dating was younger and going to be a lawyer hurt, but that hurt was buffered by the fact that she was physically unattractive (sorry, but I’m just remembering what I went through, and I know that’s superficial, but that’s life), that she came from a lower class background and was much less accomplished at her age than I was at her age, and MOSTLY my hurt/jealousy was buffered by the fact that this woman was someone who had no qualms about dating a married man and didn’t think twice about committing adultery because “she didn’t take vows”…well, she still got to be named as correspondent. Yep.
MP, you are right. I cannot imagine how painful it would have been if he did this and we had children.

Now I realize that it was a starter marriage. I took it seriously. He didn’t. It meant something to me. Nothing to him. Now I am stronger, you’re right. I’ll never let any person put me on the backburner so our world can revolve around them. I am grateful for the breakup of this marriage, because I feel that I will be ready to meet a great guy who adores and respects me, as I will him, in return.

A friend of mine said, “you can’t really appreciate a truly good man unless you’ve had a bad one”. Well, let’s just say I believe her and I’m looking forward to my future with a Ph.D. in hand, my faith, my education, my good heart. And maybe a man who loves me for me and not for what I can do for him…but even if that’s not in the cards, at least I’m happy and complete on my very own, if that makes sense. I realize now that I’m worth 20 of him. I really am.

C B asked:


I live on the west coast of Canada. I am a 30 year old father of two. I am an IT professional and bring home close to 50k a year after taxes. My wife is a stay at home Mom who does some part time work and daycare from home, it’s not much but she brings in about $1000 a month.

Lately we have been noticing that we are just not surviving.

Our rent is $1200 a month for a 2 bedroom 900 square foot suite.
Gas prices just hit 139.3/liter (Thats 527.3 / gallon)
Food prices have jumped 25% in the last 6 months. We bargain hunt as best as we can but our shopping bill is up to easily $600/month.
Not to mention phone, water, heat, electricity, basic cable, car expenses, child expenses.

We have looked into assisted living and other government funded assistance but as a household apparently make far too much to apply for any type of help. By my governments standards we make more than enough to properly support ourselves. Why are we so hard up then? We are very moderate with our spending,
count every penny. Never eat out, only drive 1 car, never go out to anywhere that costs and frankly have dropped all our hobbies and extra currilcular activites just to survive and we are still on the verge of starving to death.

Furthermore I was panicked when I heard on the radio this morning that we can expect to see our cost of living to increase by 20% over the next year. I am currently working beyond full time and have resorted to doing extra work contracts over the weekends. I get no time to spend with my family as is and am still quickly slipping into bankruptcy.

My wife looked into full time work and putting the kids in daycare but the cost of daycare would be more than what she could make so really what’s the point.

What is a young family to do in this current economic situation?

Why do you have have vat not inc in PC part prices, you know when you look at PC parts online or in magz you see the cost but dont all the ads have VAT added in the price? And sometimes you think you find a bargain but then read small print VAT not INc!!. So just want to know why this happens mostly in PC part shopping, i know it happen in other sectors too, but why even bother, with separate pricing.

? Alwayz….. asked:


Okay.

Im in my early twenties and I make really good money for my age, but I dont have a huge savings account so I have to bargain hunt for a house in certain ways.

I can either live in a mobile home like area that is being torn dorn gradually and being rebuilt in which property value will double. New homes are being build and sold gradually. Its really nice but some of the older homes are trashy, and then you have the super nice homes thats available in certain spots as they rebuild. Alot of older people live here, and its very multicultural.

Or I can live in the city with the same nice condo features but kinda gradually near some ghetto like areas. lol.. which is also multicultural. we all know the city can be good and bad.

which would you chose to live in..these condos are very affordable and they are both in areas that are being rebuilt over.

this is not a racial question so please no negativity.

thanks!!
