Buying teenagers a car.
Morning guys,
At the moment we are going through a fairly common stage in life where my wife's daughter turns 18 in June. As a result she would like a car for her birthday which has caused no end of arguments (haven't we all been there). Originally we were going to get her a car if she did well in year 12, but now she reckons she wants it before then. She wants to drive to school (1km) and wants to be able to drive her boyfriend to school, he is 17. I don't know how she can afford to run it as she earns about $60 per week and spends about $80. Originally we thought of putting in one third with her dad and herself, however, she says she can't afford to "put in" because she can't save any money.
So I would be interested in hearing the opinions of others and in particular those who have already been there.
So what do you think or reckon. I am sure others will be very interested in hearing from other people who have been there or are about to go there!
