Went through a similar experience when my girl was gung ho on getting a jeep wrangler. Had no idea how expensive Jeeps were. We rented one while on a vacation in Miami and felt the way that shyt drove on the highway and saw how spartan the interior wasI joined the Jeep Grand Wagonner Facebook group doing some research for a potential purchase…. And the amount of people saying they spent 100k plus on a JEEP is mind boggling.

It’s just some dumb people out here. That’s all

Maybe because I live in a big city, there are tons of sub $1k cars that have had neglect set in but can easily be saved with a days hard work and $200 in parts from Rockauto.What car can you get for under $2k in 2025? Most shyt boxes sell for 3-5k.

Let me guess. move out to west bumblefukk for a more affordable home where you get to drive 2 hours in traffic everyday just to get to workWhen did people stop buying fixer uppers and starter homes? When did people stop buying homes outside of the expensive areas? The hood still selling houses
Same with cars. Remember we use to buy cars just to make it through the winter? Or at least get you from a to z. Now? Everyone thinks they suppose to have brand new.
These are self created problems.
One you start reading these articles and actually look into buying cars and homes, you realize these articles aren’t even talking to you.
You have so many people saying they can’t afford a home because it costs $400,000, but when did people start thinking $400,000 was the norm? When did people stop buying fixer uppers and starter homes? When did people stop buying homes outside of the expensive areas? The hood still selling houses

There are no "starter homes and fixer uppers" left because everyone decided they want to be a real estate mogul doing air bnb rentals and shytty quick flips
That "starter home" is now 3 to 4 times as much
