Challenge: Ditch the Poverty Mindset, Stop Playing the Victim

Posted April 14, 2017March 22, 2019 GeriLeave a commentPosted in Reflections, Commuter Blues, Financial Freedom, Observations, Personal Finance, Real Estate

Posted June 12, 2014September 30, 2018 Geri2 CommentsPosted in Plugs, Auto Loan, Commuter Blues, Driving

Viya is lodged as an asset and a liability in my personal SALN. The asset side, which is the car value, I depreciate regularly (I read somewhere that normally, cars depreciate 20% in price by year 1, 10% for years 2 to 6 and 5% for years 7 to 10. Which leaves you 10% salvage value by year 10).
