( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

This chapter discusses purchasing decisions, starting with recurring consumption, and then explores the details of a car purchase - a more significant and longer-term purchase both in terms of its use and financing.

  • 8.1: Introduction
  • 8.2: Consumer Purchases
    Consumer purchases refer to items used in daily living (e.g., clothing, food, electronics, appliances). They are the purchases that most intimately frame your life: you live with these items and use them every day. They are an expression and a reflection of you, your tastes, and your lifestyle choices. Your spending decisions reflect your priorities. Those very personal tastes will frame your spending choices.
  • 8.3: A Major Purchase- Buying a Car
    Many adults will buy a car several times during their lifetimes. A car is a major purchase. Its price can be as much as or more than one year’s disposable income. Its annual operating costs can be substantial, including the cost of fuel, legally mandated insurance premiums, and registration fees, as well as maintenance and perhaps repairs and storage (parking). A car is not only a significant purchase, but also an ongoing commitment.
