[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 10330782, member: 50367"] Car payments are a way of life. You're always going to have a car payment. It's just the way it is. It's a part of life so you might as well accept it. Life is rough so get a low payment and a nice car. You need to enjoy things while you can. The little man just cant get ahead. Youre always going to have a car payment. In my best whiny voice. 80% of American millionaires are first generation rich. Who's this little man who is having so much problems?* Why spend 600-800$ a month to impress somebody you'll never meet? Buying stuff with money you don't have to impress people you don't like. Keeping up with the jones's will keep a person in Financial mediocre at best case scenario. People taking out loans on things they cant pay for is a big reason why the economy takes recessions. * You deserve a nice car when you can pay cash for it. Your family doesn't deserve to be put at risk because some one wanted a toy. Job loss, cut backs, increase living expenses and emergencies arise all the time and can back you into a corner because you are in slavery to your wants and the lender. Don't go get stuff when you don't have the money to pay for it. That's what children do. Adults devise a plan and work to achieve their goal. Children do what feels good.* Choose your priorities. Retirement, a score card(net worth or stuff), or instant gratification.* Buying a new car for it's warranty is a joke. I was ignorant and bought my wife a new car that I wanted(did you catch that) bought a new 07 five hundred. Retail price was 28k now has 65k miles books for 10k now.
