Sadly, not quite yet. My dad and I have come to a tentative agreement that since the Tempo is our household's "only 2nd car" (even though we do have a truck, and a bunch of collector cars filling the garage), we're going to keep it as an 'emergency vehicle' for a little while longer.

The good news is since I only use it when my dad needs me to do an errand for him, he's paying for the insurance. I still pay the gasoline though. So far this month I've only spent $81.60 in all my expenses and $54 of that was filling up the Tempo at $5/gallon gas .

HA!

I've owned my own home for 17 years now.
So how do you do it? What's your monthly budget like? I'm starting my career in about 12 hours, so I need all the pointers I can get!
