They don't; the average person is in spiraling debt right now, around 95% of America


Worst economy we've seen since the 1920's

They can't. Most people driving new cars are leasing.

like the thread i made a few weeks ago said...owning a $50k car (average new car) costs something like $1,200-1300+ per month when you add in insurance, gas, tax, maintenance, etc.

of course a lot of people will get caught holding the bag when things really go south

I could not imagine my life without a car but damn they are expensive. Interest rates on cars are usually really low, lower than the inflation rate so "paying cash" is not a flex at all. However, outside of the car payment there is the insurance. maintenance, fuel, you name it. Old cars aren't really any better because the repairs and everything associated to that comes into play.

another option may be "just stop being in debt" so you don't have to worry about furiously sucking off noseberg's knob...aka the most common form of not being poor.

Usually driving far more car than they need. The amount of soccer moms driving 80k SUVs is ridiculous when you can fit three kids and all their stuff in any sedan.

soccer mom mogging...and hubby better pay up if he wants to be considered a man

know this one dude that keeps his ungrateful SAHM woman in a loaded suburban no older than 4 years old...he borrows (takes) the money for cars, trips, appliances (top of the line), new homes, etc from his mom that gets veteran benefits. what makes it sadder is he and the wife treat the mom like chit.

Boomers can. Most of them own their house free and clear and have millions in retirement. A car is nothing.

They finance their whole lives and live paycheck to paycheck.

One unexpected large bill and they are FUKED.

I bought a new truck with a Hemi in it a few months ago and I am going to sell it and just pay cash for something. Nuts to payments and the insurance is a joke and it drinks gas like an alchoholic.

I see females driving around in the newest Acura MDX and always wondered how they afford that kind of stuff

They probably can afford it but I’m just wondering how that many people can

Probably has some rich sugar daddy buy it for her, or maybe some OF SIMP bought it for her.


Women can cruise through life simply based off looks, a man must bring value to the economy to be rich.


OP, stop being poor.

The old meme of having to live in a van down by the river isn't even achievable anymore. Feels batman.

Car prices will soon be getting worse. Biden's EV mandate, outlawing gas powered cars, will push new car prices much higher.

Women are horrible with money. They may make 7 mill a year but have overhead of 40 mill a year for their lifestyle.

Jfl and people were going to vote Hilary in office. Lmfao.

Women not even once.

Tax subsidies

In Australia, if you are a tradie you get full deductibility of ALL expenses (the car itself, depreciation, maintenance, tires, fuel, insurance, car washing, etc)

So compared to everyone else they are basically paying 50% of the total vehicle running cost

Ditto real estate agents or anyone who can deduct a work vehicle for work related travel
