The car jar

Insurance, registration, repairs and tires.

4 min read

Cars come with lots of irregular costs. One jar, or a few, keeps them from wrecking a month.

What to include

  • Insurance, if you pay every six or twelve months
  • Registration and inspection
  • Oil changes and routine maintenance
  • Tires and brakes
  • A set amount for repairs

Estimate it

Add up last year's car costs that weren't monthly. Divide by 12.
