<prompt> Human: Last year I got fed up with taking care of clunkers and used vehicles so I decided to treat myself to a brand spanking new 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. I love this thing, it does almost everything I need and I live in an area with a very snowy winter so its crucial for that. Well, recently my girlfriend and I have been fast tracking our idea for starting a business. All the paperwork is finished so now we just have to plan the finances for the tools and such that are needed to start our venture. Now Im thinking that my nice little Crosstrek is going to struggle carrying the loads of materials we will need for this business and Im thinking I really need a truck. Whats the best option here? Btw Im a 27yo male with a long term gf 9 years and together we bring in about 90-100k a year. Also worth mentioning we just bought a house a month ago. Thoughts?  <response>: Getting into debt on a vehicle isnt a fantastic way to start a business.Justifying things with well I need to buy X so that I can do Y for the business is a trap that new business owners often fall into. Cars, computers, desks, renting offices, none of these are necessarily needed the moment one starts a business.You have a perfectly good vehicle. You should make it work until it cant any longer. Carry this method through all elements of your business. You dont get nice to haves before you even get a client.
