How do I deduct car use at my job?

Should I use a job as an excuse to get a car?

• I'm 16 and I have my licence and all, but I have no car. I mean at first I had no problem with that cause the school I go to is less than 2 minutes away. I can see it from the back of my house, so there was no need for me to get a car. But I want to be able to go out with my own car, and go places after school, I mean I do that with my friends, but I don't want to have to rely on my friends. I really want to get my own car! So should I try to get a job so that I'll need a car? I by no means mean to get a job and complain for a car. What I mean is get a job, and stick with it, then kind of ask for one. I also mean that I'd use some of my money to help pay for the car. I feel like that is the ONLY way I'd get a car! In my parents eyes, I don't need a car if I don't have a job (and I kind of agree) So should I do that?

• Answer:

  Why don't you get a job so you can afford a car? Don't forget gas and insurance cost money, too. So do repairs.
