Grandparents Get Left Behind Because Grandma Feels She Could Dictate Who Can Drive Her Granddaughter's New Car

Individuals spend a great deal of money on trucks and cars. In actuality, transportation expenses, including fuel and car payments, account for more than 15% of the entire budget of an average household.

This places it ahead of incidentals like food, education, and retirement savings, as the second-biggest expense after housing. The cost of the purchase might be daunting, particularly for younger, first-time purchasers who typically have less saved up and less established credit histories.

Due to the fact that costs are so high, consumers must also pay special attention to their spending plan. Amidst all these, the narrator of today's story still managed to take out a loan and get a car.

They were supposed to celebrate OP's birthday at her parents' house, which was two hours away. The deal was that the OP would pick up her grandparents, drive them to her parents, and then take them home.
