How many people can really afford to pay cash for a car? I mean, at least for a new car. You know, the one with all the features that you absolutely need.Well, my wife and I are planning to buy a car. We’ve been saving for a couple of years, taking transit everywhere we go while our friends zip around in their Mazdas and Volkswagens, getting to put their groceries in their trunk, not on their laps. It has definitely not been fun, but we’ve managed to save a lot of money by making this sacrifice.However, as much money as we’ve saved, we don’t have quite enough for the vehicle that we’ve been looking at…Secret Service investigating credit- and debit-card data theft from Target stores
