Save Money

"My poor old truck"

I bought my truck about a year ago for under $1000.I figured it would be pretty good for a work vehicle and it was.I do commercial painting and put on a lot of miles.Now I have to make a desicion.The truck needs a bit of work.Tires,brakes,ignition(because of an incedent where I lost my keys)not to mention the body has cancer!All in all I think I would have to spend about $800. to stay on the road or do I buy another cheap used vehicle.Did I mention I have no money?I could always buy new but I don't like the idea of paying $300-$500 a month for something I never really own.

"She takes a licken' and keeps on ticken"

I think the price of new vehicles is way out of control but I guess it's the same as everything else nowadays.It really makes it hard for the average Joe who works hard with little reward.I could go on about what I pay in taxes but that's another story all together.Getting back to my truck,what should I do?
