New addition to the family: Most expensive crypto funded purchase

in Project HOPE3 years ago

I'm pleased to say that we added a new member to our family. She's a 2007 Honda Accord and will be used to make life a lot easier.

We live a very sedentary lifestyle, since we're at home like 90% of time but then there's that 10% that's become extremely tedious. Going to the market, stopping at shops and everything in between has become infinitely more tedious, so adding this car this baby was a matter of necessity.

I named her Patience because I've always wanted to own a car and I had to patiently grind for the past four years before I could afford her. @wolfofnostreet named her Ella because she likes the name "Ella".

What did she cost?

Since she's a bit old(2007) and fairly used, we got her at a reasonable price of $3000. She came with all the necessary papers and stuff.

She was gotten from a reputable dealer who is also my neighbour. Generally speaking, I think it was a good deal and after taking her for a spin, I totally enjoyed the performance.

Funding

Well, my entire life is funded by crypto, so it should come as no real surprise that I also bought this car with proceeds from crypto. I combined my hive, and half of the FORTH tokens that I received in the Airdrop some months ago.

This is also my single most expensive purchase with crypto, since I started grinding in 2017. It is also a big step in my life becomes it comes with a lot of responsibility.

Keeping it healthy

The most difficult part is ensuring she's constantly in healthy condition. This will require using her carefully and not going to shitty terrains.

It is also important to use the services of an efficient mechanic. My neighbor/car dealer recommended a fellow to me, and I'll be using his service for now.

I don't intend to use it for any road trip, so I don't think I'll be having too many mechanical issues. However, if the opportunity to make a long trip presents itself, we'll try it.

For now, I'll be the only one driving it but wife will be taking classes soon. Since it is automatic transmission, it'll be easy for her to learn. After that, she'll go to a driving school and then register for a license.

Hello @belemo

You can literally express something similar to this "Well, my whole life is funded by crypto, so I shouldn't be surprised that I also bought this car with crypto earnings", I would add that crypto gave stability to my life, of course financially. Congratulations on your acquisition.

Best regards, be well.

Crypto is really doing wonders, I'm planning on quitting my job and focusing more Crypto, because I know some people who are into crypto full time and are making it big.

Hello my friend.

I know the joy you feel because I personally experienced it, that is also buy a car with cryptocurrencies, some hive and steem and buy a Hyundai Elantra year 2012, I think you bought at an excellent price that car, it looks very nice and preserved.

Greetings and thanks for sharing your experiences of that valuable purchase that is so necessary to cover our needs. May God give you the necessary blessings to enjoy it with your family.

Congratulations @belemo for that new acquisition, sure it is the product of much effort and conscious work, 'I know that working from home requires a lot of dedication and discipline, and gather large amounts, it is not easy, which speaks well of you.
Greetings and enjoy it very much.
