It feels like there are so many financial landmines when we buy a car, but maybe there aren’t as many as we think?

Guest star Kacie Swartz from Blackbarn Financial joins Caitlin and Sara again to explain all the ways we over complicate the car-buying process and undervalue our time.

It turns out no one gets gold stars at the end of life for the moral way they paid for their car. What??

And maybe people that buy new cars right off the lot or lease aren’t suckers? What??

Come on over and think through the options with us: borrow, save, lease, new, old, now or later. So many decisions. And Kacie and Sara have some pretty good answers, without shaming Caitlin about her tortured, overwrought and misplaced sense of moral smugness too much.

Oh wait, and Caitlin pressures Sara to sell her own damn used car. And co-producer Kelly leaves her first podcast easter egg…you’ll know it when you hear it.
