Sick of high finance charges on your car note?Do what Paul Brant did-break open your piggy bank and roll up your change and take it to the dealership!
Brant,of Frankfort,Indiana walked into Mike Raisor Chrysler Dodge Jeep on Friday flanked by sheriffs deputies for security reasons,plunked down more than 25 thousand dollars in rolled change and drove away in a brand new Dodge Ram 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive pickup truck!He had saved up all the money in an assortment of jars,jugs and piggy banks!It's nothing new for him either,in 1994 he purchased a Dodge Neon and a Dodge truck with about 36 thousand in change!He said he needed a new pickup with 4 wheel drive so he could get around in the snow if he had to and says scrimping and saving for what he wants or needs is a way of life,learned at his fathers knee.The elder Mr.Brant always paid for things in cash and used his saved change to finance family vacation trips.An armored car service came to count & collect the money at the dealership,as no bank would accept it!
That was an amazing story to me,because we dump all our change into one of several jars.We have one big jar that is earmarked for taking our little girl to Orlando for a family trip once shes a little older!We want to hit Universal and Disney and all that change eventually adds up!
