Between our kids’ school schedules, extracurricular activities, and social plans, we spend a lot of time driving them around. And when they get older and start driving themselves, a whole new world of independence (and issues) presents itself. In this special episode of The Mom Hour, Meagan and Sarah talk about how we use car time to connect with our kids and how we handle some of the challenges that crop up over time, from crying babies and sibling squabbles to sensory overload and car sickness. Buckle up!

Auto Approve is an online service that makes vehicle refinancing easier and faster. Auto Approve connects vehicle owners with a network of top credit unions, banks, and finance companies to find the best available interest rates and to lower your current monthly payment. They do all the work for you – they handle the paperwork, simplify the vehicle refinance process every step of the way, and put more money back in your wallet. With inflation and the rising costs of living, that extra money can make a big difference for families. It could mean more money for your grocery budget, an extra tank of gas . . . or saving for  long-term goals, like college or retirement. 

The idea behind Auto Approve is that living costs are on the rise everywhere, and it’s important to save money where we can. Get more for what matters most with Auto Approve.

It just takes a few minutes, and they don’t even require your social security number.

This episode is all about driving and spending time in the car with your kids. Use some of that time doing the things you love most as a family – like road trips, going to a baseball game, or going out to eat. When you spend less money on your auto loan, you have more to spend on your life! We’re glad to partner with Auto Approve to help you get a lower payment on your car.
