Also a 100K in 2023 is not the same as 100K was back in 1993.
Takes a 100K now to buy what 50K to 80K use to get you.
Not even 1993.
In 2003 a Brand New Benz G-Wagon started at 73k. An Escalade started at 50k.

This. When I can pay that note, not worry about rent/mortgage, utilities, food, saving and going out? Then I’ll pay for a 100k whip. Until then, ima stick with this Lex.When 1500/month doesn't affect my ability to pay my other bills![]()
The same Coli defending rappers from blowing money is now talking about being a millionaire to buy a 100K car?
The only time u should be buying cars like that is if you can pay it off outright and not stress about any maintenance. If you have to finance it, you’re being a dumbass. Also, before even thinking of doing this, you better already have a house paid off.
If you’re trying to imitate your friends, remember, they may have rich family members that’s doting on them.
Youre supposed to lease them
people splurge on all kinds of shyt. if you make enough that doesn't affect your bills, retirement, savings, etc, then it's not a big deal if it fits well into your budget. I and my wife are debt free and we each make 5 figures a month after taxes. 2-3k in car notes if it's a guilty pleasure wouldn't affect our ability to invest, own a home, or do other things. not everything a person purchases has to be an appreciating asset. some people spend on jewelry, some on clothes/shoes, some on eating out, some on vacays, and some on cars. nothing wrong w/ any of it if it's easily affordable and doesn't affect your day to day or long term goals.
For 90%+ of people, buying a depreciating asset is dumb af unless you have serious bread. Leasing is a viable option for most.Not necessarily
Exactly, you see it.
If you finance a $100,000 vehicle and you either down own a house at all or still paying a mortgage, you’re an idiot.
