Gas Price Hike Rumor

There is a rumor going around that the price of gas will go up again in March. I don't know how true this is. Perhaps the price of gas has already gone up but it's uncertainties like these that have me delaying the purchase of my own car. Although some people have told me that buying a car should only be done if I absolutely need one, I think it's good to have my own car and not depend on the family car anymore.

However, I keep thinking that being self-employed, all auto expenses will fall on my shoulders. I am envious of friends who receive auto allowance at the end of the month. They have to drive a nice car because they use it for work but then they get fair compensation for it. It's actually an awesome arrangement, if you ask me.

Companies now actually prefer employees with their own transportation. It reduces liability and lowers risk and they just have to reimburse the employees according to mileage. Employees may prefer the use of a company assigned vehicle but I think sooner or later all companies will adopt such a scheme and employees will have no choice but to provide their own vehicles.

Since I am not employed, I don’t really need a car and I don’t know if I should buy one. It seems pretty extravagant!
