About Thrifty Horizon

For many households, a car is the second-biggest cost after housing, and the monthly payment is only part of it. We write plain-English guides to what a car really costs, and how to buy, finance and run one without letting it run your budget.

What we do

We publish car cost guides, a car loan and true cost calculator, a guide to dealer fees and add-ons, the Car Cost checklist and a free printable Car Cost Workbook. We send The Road Ahead to people who sign up for it, and we're preparing the Car Buying Confidence Course, a paid self-paced course.

What we don't do

  • We aren't a dealer, lender, insurer or warranty company.
  • We don't earn commissions or sell leads to any of them.
  • We don't review or negotiate individual deals.
  • We never sell or share your email address.

Who runs it

Thrifty Horizon is operated by Rip & Ride LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company.
