Money expert Tori Dunlap was able to transform her financial empowerment blog, Her First $100K, into a multimillion-dollar business. While she’s enjoyed the financial flexibility her wealth has brought her, there are certain things Dunlap — who is one of GOBankingRates’ Money’s Most Influential Women — still won’t splurge on.
Here’s the biggest way Dunlap still lives frugally.
Why Tori Dunlap Drives a 2014 Toyota
Dunlap has upgraded many aspects of her lifestyle, but there’s one thing that she hasn’t spent money on.
“I still drive the same car I bought just out of college — a 2014 [Toyota] RAV4 with 70,000 miles on it,” she told GOBankingRates.
Dunlap believes that women should only spend money on things they really care about, so if you’re not a car person, that hefty car payment for a new car likely isn’t worth it.
“You don’t need to stop spending money,” she said, “but you do need to stop spending money on things you don’t care about.”
