No Auto Plan Means No Auto Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n

Is this the year you have to purchase your next car? \u00a0If your answer is I don\u2019t know or you\u2019ve not given it much thought, it\u2019s time you did by creating a facilities plan. \u00a0You can do this easily by requesting a <\/span>family plan binder<\/span><\/a> at Kerry A. Clark & Co.<\/span>

\n<\/span>Every good plan is like a recipe. Instead of baking a cake or making that favorite dinner dish, you can have a recipe for your automobile needs and desires. \u00a0If you\u2019re going to do it [take care of your auto needs] anyway, why not make the best out of it by using a plan. In other words, if you\u2019re going to have to buy a car or incur auto expenses why not put a plan in place to make the best of it. \u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/span>\"\"Pamela and I decided long ago that we didn\u2019t want to be on just any course, but one we set. \u00a0And because we made plans, even our bad purchases don\u2019t keep us off the course we\u2019ve designed.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Every Now and Then You Get Some Bad Eggs<\/b>
\n<\/b>With every good recipe, you\u2019ll need to make sure you have some good ingredients. \u00a0For us our financial circumstances made it easy to have a bad egg or two. In this case, we purchased a lemon. \u00a0Our plan was not to get in any more debt so that we could be in a better position to purchase a home. However, Pamela needed a car; we were borrowing one from our brother. \u00a0We searched and looked online and we found a Jeep Grand Cherokee. We paid cash for that vehicle. Oh happy day, was the song we had on our lips. That car was so good to us; it seemed perfect. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t a good nine months and the problems started. We eventually had a mechanic tell us those words you hate to hear…this car needs an engine. It\u2019s condition worsened , but by this time our plans had begun to make some significant improvements in our life. \u00a0\u00a0Let me stop and say that planning works. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>We found a dealership that had a fully loaded Camry for sale and it was the right price for us. \u00a0After I finally got the Jeep running and I mean I wasn\u2019t sure how long it would run, I didn\u2019t stop at all until I made it to that car lot. \u00a0Running red lights and through stop signs. That Jeep was in bad shape. I told the salesman we\u2019d like to trade it towards the Carmy. I didn\u2019t care if he had only gave us a $1 for that car. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t going back home with us because we\u2019d decided there must be a better way. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>A plan makes it possible.<\/b>
\n<\/b>I tell you this story because many have similar situations happen. \u00a0What if you didn\u2019t have to live with a subpar car or just an average automobile. \u00a0What if you had reliable transportation? If you had a plan that could be possible. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>After the Jeep, we decided to update our plans. \u00a0Never again will we have unreliable transportation. A part of our plan includes being able to afford taking our vehicles to the dealership for all proper repairs. \u00a0We\u2019d done the shade-tree mechanic thing and it wasn\u2019t working for us any longer. We discovered what nolongercommon.com means by \u201cordinary is no longer enough.\u201d What plans do you have for what and how you drive?<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Today is Friday!<\/span>
\n<\/span>Planning is so simple. \u00a0All you need is pen and paper. \u00a0It\u2019s even better when you have a bad experience and you\u2019re so motivated to never be in that situation ever again. \u00a0With a plan, even your auto needs can improve. I know ours did and it all started after we paid cash for a lemon. No it started when we drafted a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n
