If you have a less-than-stable career or you¡¯re self-employed, we recommend saving as much as 12 months worth of income.

Aside from a home, a car is one of the most expensive items you¡¯ll purchase in your life. While it¡¯s understandable to focus on monthly payment amounts when determining how much car you can buy, your ability to afford a monthly auto loan payment doesn¡¯t mean you can afford the car.ºÍ·¿×ÓÒ»Ñù£¬³µ×ÓÒ²»áÊÇÄãÈËÉúÖйºÂòµÄ×î¹óµÄ¶«Î÷Ö®Ò»¡£ÔÚ¾ö¶¨¹ºÂòʲô¼ÛλµÄ³µÊ±£¬ÔÂÊÕÈëµÄÈ·ÐèÒª¿¼ÂǽøÈ¥£¬µ«ÄãÄܸ¶ÇåÿÔµijµ´û²¢²»´ú±íÄã¾ÍÄÜÂòµÃÆðÕâ³µ¡£
If you¡¯re in doubt, consider the duration of the loan: If it¡¯s longer than three years, and doesn¡¯t result in owning the vehicle outright at the conclusion of the loan, you¡¯re shopping out of your true budget.Èç¹ûÄ㻹¶ÔÎҵϰÓÐËù»³ÒÉ£¬ÄDz»·ÁÏëһϻ¹´ûÆÚÏÞ£ºµ«Èç¹û»¹¿îÆÚÏÞ³¬¹ýÁËÈýÄֱ꣬µ½»¹´û½áÊø²ÅÕæÕýÓµÓÐÕâÁ¾³µ£¬ÄãµÃ»ùÓÚ×Ô¼ºµÄʵ¼ÊÔ¤ËãÀ´¹ºÂò¡£
