      When do you register your vehicle except when you buy it? Also there’s no cost unless you mean the car purchase? Doesn’t make sense.

      Who the fuck pays “vehicle registration” monthly with their “paycheque”?

      Are you American?

        I believe they’re referring to vehicle tax that you have to renew each year

  What’s vehicle registration?

    In some places government requires vehicles to be
    regularly re-registered at certain intervals and it's usually associated with a bill or fine to update the registration paperwork on the vehicle

    Most cases it's just a way to collect taxes at a local level

      I think every country in the UK requires vehicle tax information to be resubmitted every year unless Northern Ireland is different? I’ve not heard someone refer to it to vehicle registration before though, only car tax.

        Interesting, I imagine Northern Ireland is no different and also requires it yearly and folks just call it tax. Where I am we pay both a property tax on the vehicle (based on vehicle value at the time) ASWELL as a yearly registration fee to operate the vehicle on public roads. This is all in addition to a titling tax needed once when first obtaining the vehicle (also based on value of vehicle)

  You’re not asking for advise and it’s a lot easier to manage a budget when you’re not living hand-to-mouth (been there myself), but I really can recommend something like YNAB. It made a WORLD of difference for our family.
