Ive considered doing that. I was gonna park at a campground some of the time and use the shower there. I would have made arrangements to shower at different peoples houses and had several places I could go hang out if I needed. If you are female be aware of safety issues move around alot and have a friend or relative that always knows where you are. But I tend to over think things sometimes and you should probably just go with what you think will work for you. Im sure it can work and I dont see anything wrong with it. The main issues become comfort and safety, the rest is up to you.

Sell your truck and use the money to pay your house loan.\n\nI suggest you to sell everything you own (Including your bed) and pay your house loan before you are kick out of your house and you end up homeless.\n\nPlease let me know how much debt exactly do you have in your house loan and how much is your house worth so I can find you a buyer for your house before your house becomes property of the bank.

I went back and read your question.  Where are you coming from?  The cheapest way to move anywhere is to drive.  Rent a u'haul truck, tow your car, and just drive.  What part of Texas are you moving to?  I'm from Texas.  Good luck

It depends on your objectives. If you like driving new cars after every few years and you prefer to have more disposable income in your pocket, yes by all means lease. On the other hand, if you like to drive a car until it quits, you might want to buy. Whichever one you choose, be sure you are doing virtually the same thing. The car is never your anyway until you pay it up and you could do that for both.

Please, please, please don't do that to yourself.  You will be paying in upwards of 3x's the brand new value of that truck.  That doesn't include depreciation!  Most times you will be hit with fees if you refinance before 24 months!  So you'll be paying 4x's the principal in interst each month for two years!!!  If you can give it a few months go this route:\n\nScore Max\nhttp://www.communityempower.com/cfic/... \nUse Loan Officer #139336\n \nThis is such a GREAT program... it's seriously the fastest way to improve your score!!! It's truly crazy to pay that kind of interest.  The depreciation will be enormous!!   Let these guys take a look at everything for you!!!  You can repair your credit from day one... a few months could literally save you THOUSANDS!!!!!

First, when I compare my expenditures to those of my friends, the obvious savings is the fact I do not own a vehicle.  Even with monthly bus passes and the occasional taxi, I spend hundreds less monthly.  Second, I look over my budget almost weekly to see how things might work better.  Once, I worked in a set amount of retirement/savings into my budget so it became a "necessity" like any other bill.  Suddenly, my cable and cell phone stood out as nice-to-haves, not need-to-haves, so I cut them out entirely.  Third, though I'm always on top of my bills, I started using auto-pay functions to ensure I would never get behind.  Fourth, I started eating in and brown-bagging far more, which decimated the amount I was spending eating out.  My next step is to have my bank automatically send money monthly to my investor, like a bill, so it gets done despite how busy I get.

Lancer EVO's are bitchin' cars but they can be up to $30,000. \nIf you join the military your pay may cover the cost of the payments but not much else. \nYou should decide if you will be living in the barraks or try to get an apartment? \nWill you always eat the food they provide or do you want to eat out sometimes? \nHow much time will you get to drive the car vs it sitting idle while you are gone and you still have to make the payments.\nI would consider your lifestyle before you make a big purchase like that. Typically most enlisted guys cant afford a car that nice.

That's a tough question.  Try looking into renting or "rent to own" for the RV.  As soon as you can, get a credit card and pay for everything with it.  Make sure you pay it in full every month.  That will help a little in the long run.

If you plan to buy it from a dealer, they will almost certainly have some financing options available to you.\n\nOtherwise, here's a Yahoo! Search link with a number of sites that provide truck financing or resources to help you locate it:

Consider these:\n- Is it worth investing so and so $ to get $ ?( how much return?)\n- Distance from you, just in case you have to go and miaintain or repair something/ arangements for it\n- Will your income be sufficient enough to offset the maintenance & labor you'll put on it?

You should write out a budget. Budget for everything. Bills, car payments, entertainment etc. And try to save a little every paycheck.

I have been saving money for years, and i think the key to saving money is to question yourself if you really need this or not.  For Example: You see a Plasma TV at the store knowing you have a good working decent sized TV at home. Do you really need this overpriced TV? Or you dont?

If the cost of the vehicle is minimal to your business, just depreciate the whole thing one time. If not, figure out how many years you plan to keep the truck. \n\nIf you plan to keep it for three years, you can use the straight-line method. Divide the cost (less expected scrap value) by three. Take that amount each of the three years.\n\nAnother method for high priced items is the 'sum of the years digits' method. If you bought a $20,000 truck that you plan to use for five years, you would add up 1 thru 5 (1+2+3+4+5=15). In year one, you would take 5/15 of the cost in depreciation, or $6666.00. Year two, you take 4/15, or $5333.00.  Year three, 3/15, or $4000.00 and so on. By the time you get to 1/15, the totals should add up to $20,000 ( in this example). \n\nThis method more accurately reflects the devaluation of a new vehicle, which drops most quickly in the first year.
