When I was a kid, we used to was our cars in the driveway. Today? Nope, it’s drive-thru car washes and vacuums. And of course, it’s a monthly subscription.
When I drove thru today, the first thing the young man operating the gate greeted me with was, “Which monthly subscription can I help you with today?”
Is there anything wrong with an automated car wash? Absolutely not. However, can you afford a monthly carwash? Let’s look at what the actual price would be for a typcal new home buyer.
The monthly pass prices as follows:
| Item | Monthly Cost | Actual Cost |
| Good Package | $22.99 | $24,236.20 |
| Better Package | $32.99 | $34,401.45 |
| Best Package | $37.99 | $39,419.12 |
So when you look at the actual cost of a carwash, is it worth it?
- The monthly car wash actually would cost you $39,419.12.
- The monthly car wash could cost you nearly 1 year of mortgage payments.
This is a crackup!
