THIS.

I always LOL when people drop $50k (enough money to cover living expenses for 2 years) on a car that they LITERALLY have no time to use....

Why not but a $4k car, then take 2 years off to enjoy life.... lmao.

Murican logic, not even once.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

So yes, it will seriously set back their retirement in a devastating fasion....

I have a 50k vehicle that my work pays for including my gas and insurance.
Guess I am a dummy for having a nice vehicle....despite the fact I make a crap ton of money and could easily afford it.

Edit: at 10% gains it will actually be $1.2 million....

So you're basically paying $1.2 million dollars for that truck as calculated in lost opportunity cost.

Holy fuk

Does your dick tingle every time you say the words compound interest

Not everyone wants to forsake living in their younger years to scrape together a retirement like you do

I think if any idiot saw the truck was actually going to cost them 1.2 million in lost investment gains, they might give it a 2nd thought.

Not you, clearly.

Yes I can because I own the vehicle and Pay for it with my car allowance so yes I did buy a 50k vehicle with my own money.
Maybe OP friend did the same thing. Based on your logic why buy anything now when you can just invest it for later.

brb invest everything now so I have millions later...brb be poor until I retire.
I can tell your a wagecuck still one day you might make 25% of what I do and realise how little vehicles cost. brb I make 20k / week but I am dumb for owning a new vehicle.

Im all for saving money and stuff but theres nothing like enjoying a new vehicle (toy). Wouldnt enjoy anything in life if I thought of everything as "I wonder how much this can get me".

brb a million dollars at 85 years old
brb too old to remember you even have money
brb too old to even enjoy it
brb die 5 years later.

So you paid zero dollars for your car (due to a car allowance provided by work) and then argue in favor of the opposite of what you did (shelling out $50k for a vehicle).

I don't even....

Lmao

You must be fun at parties

Hey you guys want to go to the bar? Sure but only if they don’t charge a cover. Hold on a second while I load up the secret compartment on my trench coat with my Kirkland beer I got on sale at Costco. Just lmao @ paying bar prices. Any idea what that $20 could be after 30 years in the market

Oh appetizers? No thanks I brought some mixed nuts and carrot sticks from home

Gotta get those investment gains

All the guys I know who buy brand new toys like that are making pretty good money. I knew someone who was making 140k+ doing some kind of construction job and he had all the toys...brand new truck, new boat, jet skis, quad bikes.

But yeah, gotta be careful.

Uber is actually a net-loss for the drivers, not the riders. Hence why no one drives for uber more than 2 weeks.

The real tragedy is he spent $60k on a Ford when he could have got the all new Ram. Just look at the inside. A real man's truck.
