I mean, people are driving around on rent money. I don’t know what to tell them. I wish them the best, but I fear this will get a lot worse before it gets better. Unless your money straight straight, I’d advise against getting into any long term commitments in this current state of the economy.

i can’t find a reputable source for this info so I’m calling bullshyt. But I really need to know if this is true. I was already leaning on the economy crashing and buying puts on spy. If repos are up that’s a huge indicator.

A new car is a terrible investment if youre kinda struggling with cash..it's usually for image purposes and the lie they tell themselves that maintenance is cheaper than a 2nd hand one.

The average car payment is $700 a month. So with insurance, gas and maintenance, people are paying around $1200 a month just for transportation. That’s a good chuck of most people’s paychecks.
Majority of folks are putting small down payments toward these cars. That affects your payments and interest rates.

Most Americans are financially irresponsible. It’s worse because they choose to be.
