Transportation
Buying used cars and driving them for years is a great way to reduce your lifetime transportation expenses. For short-term ways to reduce your transportation costs, try the following:

- Strive to get insurance discounts such as good-driver, good-student, and multiple-car discounts

- Bike or walk as often as possible
- Avoid repair bills by maintaining your vehicles properly with regular oil and filter changes
- Group your errands and if you have more than one car, use the vehicle with the better gas mileage
