IS CHOOSING A MATE...LIKE BUYING A CAR?


IS CHOOSING A MATE...LIKE BUYING A CAR?


Before you start perusing those online dating sites ask yourself some questions,first.

a. Is it street legal? Are all the "papers" in order? Are there any prior issues that might come as a surprise down the road? Do you have a legal right to ownership? Is it stolen or does it belong to someone else?

b. Is it new or is it used? Did the prior owner take good care of it? Are there too many "miles" on it? Does it have a lot of miles, but it's still in good working order?

c. Are you choosing it just because it looks good, but something might be wrong "under the hood"? Is it just a sports model; if so where do the children fit in? Does it fit your needs? Is it going to get you where you need to go and back safely and reliably?

d. Can you afford the maintenance and upkeep? Are you using the right "fuel"? Are you checking the "oil and tires" regularly? Are you going to run it into the ground through misuse? If there's something wrong, can it be fixed?

Getting the wrong car, like picking the wrong mate can ruin not only your day, sometimes it could ruin your life. What if there was an issue that needed to be repaired but you neglected it, and ended up getting into an "accident"? You could kill yourself and others in the process.

So, pick your VEHICLE carefully...take your time, and don't spend your money unnecessarily on a LEMON or a JUNKER. Remember: Even "new" cars can have serious issues...so choose wisely.
