Military Personal Finance Roundup: October 1-5

Whether you live on a military base or not you have to get around somehow. You shouldn’t think cars are your only option though, especially with gas prices hovering in the $3.50 range. This week’s military personal finance roundup is all about transportation and its costs. Read on to find out what mode of transportation might best suit you.

What mode of transportation can save you the most money?

  • A car is an investment, but it’s up to you if you want to buy or lease a car.
  • Since most cars depreciate in value, it can be tricky to run the numbers on what it’ll be worth when you’re done with it. This buy or lease calculator can be a huge help.
  • Love ‘em or hate ‘em, bicyclists advocate saving money on fuel and maintenance compared to their driving counterparts. How much money can biking save you?
  • Let’s not forget public transportation. Millions of people consider driving versus public transportation when they’re fortunate enough to live in a place where public transit is an option.
  • If cars, bicycles and public transportation aren’t your thing, how about buying a scooter? They’re small and use less gas, so it’s easy to save.
