Words of wisdom from me. If you’re embarrassed about your car, just tint the windows so nobody can see you.
😂😂😂😂 good one
🤣🤣
Dude that's such a good joke
🤣🤣🙌🏻
Good advice!
I appreciate all these people buying these new vehicles and hopefully taking care of them so I can buy them in 5-10 years for 1/5 the price. thank you so much
And that's when we pounce
Got to respect the people that buy new vehicles. That allows others including myself to buy used vehicles . Wouldn’t have them without them. Props to new car people.
@@drewfeld836 amen broda
Not the Raptor you won’t lol
The problem is they can't afford to properly take care and maintain them so in most cases they just don't
A $1400 car payment doesn’t include insurance, maintenance and gas. These people are getting close to $2K a month just to commute to the car dealership, insane!
At $1,400, they might have to actually live in that vehicle. IJS.
Mine is 1000 a month but its electric so almost no maintenance cept a yearly state inspection and new tires after a few years, eletric is cheaper than gas, I pay about 15 bucks a month in electric to charge the car and my insurance is pay by mile and its about 50-60 a month
It’s actually more than 2k
@@Maverickbillion depends on how far their commute is and how many miles they put on their car on average..
Buy a tiny bus. It's a car and a home in one.😂
The car dealership is trying to normalize outrageous monthly payments
Good comment.
@@machinesnmetalit shouldnt be normal
bicycles and ebikes are the way to go
Of course they are. It’s the most profitable strategy for them
@@tangomango0308 what would be a good way to undermine their strategy and punish them for overreaching? (Business wise, not regulation wise)
I almost died when I heard, "If your truck payment is bigger than your mortgage payment, you might be a redneck." 🤣🤣🤣
Might as well live in the truck. He should think of these payments as renting his car until he can pay it off then becomes its owner.
And an idiot on top
I used to see it all the time, people's trucks was actually worth more then there mobile home and land it was on.
🤣🤣🤣
If your truck cost more than your trailer then you might be...
I work at a factory. Everyone that gets past their 90 days buys new trucks. I get laughed at for driving my 1997 Silverado with 244 thousand miles. I simply tell them I own the truck, the truck doesn't own me
I have a 2001 Tacoma with over 200k miles as well with a license plate cover that reads "don't laugh - it's paid for"
Hopefully yours is running right. My 96 2500 is failing me.
@@ordinaryJeff it is mostly. Just developed what I think is lifter tick
2000 Silverado. 300308 miles of today
That’s a bumper sticker statement
Serious question:
Could this part of the dealership strategy. To make the consumer seem like their $600 payment is "not so bad". I think this may be a set-up video to trick the consumer. They could reason that "well at least my car payment isn't as high as the guy that works here."
My exact thoughts
I pretty sure this is what this is.
Agree. How in God's name are car salesmen affording $2,300/mo in car payments? There's no way, even if these guys live at home with their parents.
@@DrFrankenschtein I think you may have to do your research as to how they’re doing that. They get paid…A LOT
My first thought
Every time I get tempted to be “stoopid” and go buy a new car, I watch Dave Ramsey to knock some sense back into me. Thanks Dave and team! 😅
Amen😂
Literally me every time
Real talk
I found this channel as I was looking into a new car. Saved my life 😂😂😂
This method actually works
My highest car payment was $406. At that time, I was thinking “never again.” I can’t imagine a $1400 payment.
My highest, 385. The one before 350. I will never pay over 400 a month for a car, that is just insane to me.
Yeah, before that I was never higher than $345. I bought a Prius and got extended warranty because of batteries and such. That brought my initial payment of $340 to $406.
@@jwg9338 wow. I would never. My ex bought a Denali pickup and his was 850. Even though the money coming in was great, that to me was not worth it. But when the money slowed down on the business he resorted to having someone steal it and dump it for the insurance. 🤷🏾♀️
Yikes, I have a used Porsche I pay $817 for but that hurts and I’m at 220k/yr. Can’t imagine that on 60k. I’m in the Midwest too
Same here! I bought a car new in 2014 that was $420/month, paid it off and am still driving it. However, every month I thought to myself "never again", I couldn't even IMAGINE buying something for $1,400 per month. I pay less than that for my dang house.
Never had a car payment. 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 98 GMC Sierra 1500. About to pay my house off.
Way to go. Have a (paid off) 05 grand Cherokee myself
Heck ya, it does feel good, one of my better choices
I have not had a car payment in 25 years. I buy 3-5 year vehicles with cash from the owner, no dealer. No car loan, no loan payments is the only way to go for me.
25 years, congrats! I also buy from owners and not stealerships, but always remember to have a 3rd party mechanic check the vehicle over first!! I’ve been lucky but my sister was looking at a vehicle that was in a unreported accident. It had silicone and JB weld everywhere. Glad I told her to have it checked out first!!
Smart man💯👍🏽🥇💪🏽
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I paid full cash for an SUV. It felt good driving out of the dealership lot knowing I owe them or a bank nothing.
@@theblackknight9783 I can only imagine it did feel good!! Congrats to you for having a $0 monthly car payment. 🙂
I paid off my Mustang in 4 years, at a monthly payment of $225. That was three years ago, and the car is still in great shape, looks great and still fun to drive. I think I'll keep it awhile.
My wife and I own several nice cars. Each one was bought used with cash. When you quit caring what other people think about you, then you are truly free.
Amen!
My motorcycle is 20 years old and my get around town scooter is 13years olf
If you don't care people think about you why did you buy used nice cars?
so true! Apathy is king, not cash.
Good on you.
See it’s equality, car dealers are ripping themselves off too
To be fair those car salesman are likely making 100-200k so they can actually very easily afford those cars.
@@thesig301 this, this right here. More affordable for them than the regular consumers.
@@thesig301 I make $100k and you couldn’t force me to sign a $1400 car payment if you held a gun to my head. Assuming they have a $300k+ mortgage along with current inflation costs, they’re basically living broke with that salary (and that’s commission on a great year, which means a bad year = $70k or less).
@@BengalTiger47 if your single making 100k and having a 1300 a month car note and a 300k house! Mortgage prob 1500-2k, is very doable! Rather easy actually
@@reese85 exactly what I was thinking. $300k mortgage on pre recession interest rates of ~4% would be like ~$1600/m. $1400 + $1600 = 3k/m or $36k per year. Assuming a bad year for a car salesman is $70k or roughly $50k after taxes. They are still likely fine. Either way they clearly took on those payments because they can afford them. To make everyone else happy, I never said it was smart financially tho.
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
The ability to delay gratification. That is hard for many to do in a materialistic society.
I find it more impressive when truck guys can keep a 30 year old truck running. More impressive than you 1k payment.
My truck is 20 years now, just had it painted.
My house payment was $530!!!!!!! My car: 1999 Jeep Cherokee Payment: $0 People can stare, but I'm the one that can sleep peacefully at night!
People stare because your 1999 cherokee is now a saught after collectors car.

i know dude. i have a $600 payment on a 21 'sorento... man i think it's a lot cus now the insurance on the mf's gone up!
I had an $850 car payment on a new Lexus 10 years ago, after I got rid of it I vowed never again. Ive had the epiphany but clearly many have not. Who in their right mind would happily sign off for a $1000 payment. If you can afford the payment, but couldnt afford to put much if anything down, you CANT afford the payment.
The way they respond with such calmness to how much their car payments are is crazy 🤣🤣
The amount of people I see out and about in brand new vehicles is very high. This is normal.
Mortage payment on a half million dollar house between those two cars.
Makes you wonder how much they’re grossing annually, right? To get approved for that on top of their other expenses.
It's the same way callers act when they tell Dave/team how much debt they have. Completely calm and unworried.
Mine is $550 and I absolutely hate it!
Can't believe that these payments are over $1200 a month! The scary part is that these people are working at a dealership and get preferential pricing and finance terms!
Theres really no preferential treatment at volume dealerships. They could get first dibs but theyre not getting any discount.
The total price of the car is what should matter most, not the monthly payment.
Some people can request a 2 year loan and that will make their monthly payments stand out as expensive.
@@shaylaahava6413 the cars that they said those loans are for, are each $90-$100k+ after taxes. Those payments are basically on 48-60 month loans.
Well all the people interviewed bought premium vehicles. A Ford Raptor is a high performance F-150.
They don’t get a discount, BUT they do tend to “have to/need to” get all the option packages so the “look successful” Dealerships are horrendous places to buy a car in America. No matter what brand.
I still drive the car my parents got me 9 years ago when I passed my test 😂 It works a treat and I'll drive it until the wheels fall off.
If you service/replace the wheel bearings, the wheels won't fall off. Had that happen to me once. I got a new spindle and wheel bearings and put it back together and continued driving.
Dear lord 1450 car payment. That's a house payment.
A house payment in 2008 maybe 😂
Not anymore lol.
That's more than my rent. You could live in one of those cars lol. What a joke. Plus those are American cars. Those things are depreciating like there's no tomorrow.
@@davidd6003 sorry, I know most people cant put down 50% like I did. My $8000 home in Gary, Indiana is the bomb! Maybe it looks like it was bombed.

I know a guy that made a seven figure income for years. His daily driver is an old Ford Bronco with tons of dings on it. He retired WAY early and has a nice collection of debt free rentals giving him cash. Car payments are so stupid.
And what did he do with that money besides hoard it?
@@15KHPCLUB assuming lives and gives like nobody else

What did he do for enjoyment? Cuz I kno the money had to go to something
@@15KHPCLUB who cares if he did?
we work too hard to be throwing money away to impress people we dont know. like they said. "nobody cares about your vehicle".
That "reliable so it saves money on repairs" line almost literally kills me. You know how many repairs you can do for 700 per month?
Our culture thinks 100k miles is the end of the life of the vehicle and it needs to be retired. 100k on a Toyota, Honda or Mazda is just breaking in. I don’t buy a vehicle under 70k miles on it.
People are so disconnected from basic maintenance and repair that the idea of putting $800 a year into a routine repair is asinine but will easily spend $9,600/year in payments
@@synchronicity458 My last 4 vehicles have all got over 250,000 miles. 2 over 300,000. With proper care and maintenance of a vehicle there is 0 reason someone can't get 200,000+ miles if they do not get in an accident.
You are right. I always drive my cars to the ground. Last one: 17 years, 650.000 KM. "New" one bought slidly used, 7 years, body mostly from aloy, will serve me for the next 10-15 years....
I suddenly don't feel so disgusted with the $336 payment I make (that I'm trying to get paid off by end of next year)
Their monthly payments are more than my entire car was.
I’m in the same boat. Both of my back door locks are broken so I disabled the external handles. I re-enable them when I have to get the yearly cat inspection but car won’t lock when they are enabled. So as soon as the car has been inspected I disable the handles again. On top of that my fans don’t work so when it’s cold or raining I have to drive around with windows down so windshield does not fog up
Honda civic?
I’m the type to keep a car forever, so I don’t care about depreciation or resale value. I’m currently driving an 02 Camry with 364k miles. I hope to buy a new Camry someday (when the vehicle crisis ends), but I’ll be paying cash.
Wow
That Camry is a beast! I had one and totaled it (not my fault). She’s been my favorite car of all
My car payment is zero and I’m investing 2000 month in index funds.
Buying diversified funds scratched the itch to buy something but makes you wealthier at the same time. Feels good.
I sold new cars for two years. Yeah, a lot of guys I worked with fell for it. I considered what we were selling - Hondas (which are great reliable cars), and then instead bought a car that was 21 years old, put new matching tires on it and a few parts, and I drove that to work. And I loved it. And, even after upgrading it with parts, I sold it for what I had into it minus gasoline after a number of years.
That’s crazy, prices went up fast. I paid 11k for my preowned Malibu. And my payment was $201. It’s paid off now. Those payments are ridiculous
When did you get it?
6000 car would have been enough and invest that 5000
When a mild recession comes in 2023, all these cars will be way underwater, some will file for bankruptcy because of their car choices.
So the recession is now coming in 2023? when will it finally come?
It’s not gonna be mild…
Can’t wait for the bargains. Building my cash for the fire sale.
Hopefully I can buy their foreclosed houses.
@@dankbreh9013 😂😂😂😂
Ken 'What are you saying - that I'm an antique!!'. Hilarious. I loved seeing Ken and George having fun together 😊
I have a 2015 Honda Civic that I will drive until I die. No car payments no debt no headaches.
Wow, you must be very old.
I see several people pay this type of money in Texas. The majority of them live at home with their parents and alot of them work multiple jobs to be able to afford the payments
Crazy! They are robbing themselves of their future security. I made dumb mistakes with money in my life, but cars was not one of them and not on this scale.
Aka soyboys
And that is just the car note. Imagine adding the insurance payment to that.
They are also then ones wanting student loan forgiveness.
@@Damon-qt3fw nah most of them didn’t go to college. They are compensating for being low on the ladder.
That average price is higher than my house payment
I bought a high milage 2007 Toyota Matrix a year as and a half ago for $4300 cash. Came with decent snow tires also. It had glitches I was able to get fixed over a few months. I like it because I can fit my bicycle and gear in the back. I can put a lot of stuff in it. Even moved a big wheelbarrow for my roommate with it. I like it a lot and it's debt free. Not bad looking either. Has some rust but I live in the Adirondacks where they salt the roads in the winter.
I thought my car payment of $323 a month was bad 😂😂
Yesss mine is 316 and I hate it 😂 I hate it a little less now lol
381/mo I feel a little bit better
352 here and it’s annoying
$350 and under is okay as long as everything else is 'good to go'.. I'm at $238, but pay $250 (I like even numbers, lol)
Right lol mines 260 a month brand new 2024 and was regretting it immediately. i put down half though for the down payment. Car prices are insane right now but my car was totalled a year ago and saved a lot for big down payment. Next time def getting used like my first car vw jetta had it for 10 years and only paid 12,000 which is quarter of prices now.
They havent put any gas in it yet, nor paid the insurance.
Don't forget the taxes on vehicle registration yet
not to mention the horrible mpg most of those cars mentioned get
🤣

@@ns-1850 and licensed tabs every single year are very high on those vehicles
I'm a truck guy, you guys are 100% right! The hardest part for me of getting on this Ramsey program, is driving this 6 year old little f150 that's not even 4wd. But I'm doing it for my future
I hear you there. I was going to buy a 4x4 SR5 Toyota Tundra. I went with a Nissan frontier SV 4X4. Still have a pickup to fulfill my needs. The Tundra was a want! Not necessarily the need. But many that Frontier was 30k cheaper lols!
@@mustbetrue1602 Yeah my 2017 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost tends to run around $150 to fill up... Highest I've had it is $170.
Unfortunately some of us have to drive trucks for work. My employer does cover most my gas, so I'm not complaining about that one bit.
Really feels good driving a 2007 Camry ($250 remaining balance 😹)with $42k saved as emergency fund, saving and investing $5k each month with no debt. Was kinda funny when my friend who recently bought a Mercedes’ asked me for $2000 loan
That’s hilarious.
😂😂😂😂😂
that's the thing the majority of people don't understand, having a nice car doesn't necessarily mean you are wealthy, in many circumstances it just means you have more debt.
Friend should be looking for a Honda or Toyota far better
Don’t do it.
To save everyone some time, I did the math.....
An $83,500 loan at 4.5% over 72 months = $1325 car payment
By the time you pay off the car, it's trashed...

Proud to say I have twelve or less 275 dollar car payments left until I am totally debt free.
Got my 2005 Corolla in 2016 for cash. It's still running great. No problems. No payments.
My most recent car payment was $176 and I paid that off early because I hated it.
When people talk about these giant payments I'm just shocked. Factoring gas + insurance that's well over $1K per month to drive.
Exactly. Glad you brought this up.

You guys need to change your logic and thinking since the lock downs and everything, nothing is going back to how it was, everything will cost more
My car payment was 95 bucks on a used Honda and I had feelings of regret after a few years (but needed the car for work ). I would be in a full blown panic if I were these people
Me too
Here is the thing, nobody wants to wait 20 years to have a million bucks. Today's society wants self gratification NOW not tomorrow and for sure not in 20 years.
MiamiElite, many people want things now. They can not sacrifice.
True
It's definitely worth it in the grand scheme most people have a very short term look at life around 48 to 60 months view of life.
They don't believe it's possible.
@@amypola5903 You are correct, yet I also believe a % of the younger generations do not want to diligently work hard; they just the rewards handed to them. Just like now, a large % of the government's budget is for entitlements. Many can get free internet, phone, food stamps, subsidized college; the list goes on, and we a pay for this on way of another.
We do deserve nice things, we also deserve to not be stressed about money
I understand but if your stressed about money then your not making enough or living beyond your means.
If we have a job
I just happened upon your video today. What you say is sooooo true. I have subscribed to your channel. I look forward to future videos.
They work at a car dealer. Their job is to make it sound like $1400/month is normal so their buyers will join that club. And, watching the old King of Cars from years ago, people fall for it every single day.
Part of this is just the culture of working at a dealership. Notice how they all had brand new vehicles WELL above average monthly payments. My brother used to work at one and he had a new vehicle every 10 months it seemed like. Rolling over thousands of bad debt each time he traded. Tried to tell him but it seemed normal to him. Everyone at the dealership was doing the same thing.
Indeed lifestyle inflation at its finest 😏
We had this discussion a couple months ago my husband works on it at a dealership and he was telling me at the insane prices that people are paying for cars the next breath was thank God our vehicles are paid for
STEALERSHIP!
We buy new or used depending on budget. We’re making 200k a year. Our only debt is a $1284 a month house payment. We get cars on 5 year notes and pay them off in 3 or 4 years.
Echos from my dad who was born in 1919. Son “never borrow money on a depreciating asset unless it generates revenue or you live in it full time”
1300 car note! That is a house note!!! On a depreciating asset? This is nuts!
It's not a house anymore houses are completely un affordable. Even with a 40% deposit most Don't mert the income threshold.
Where you buying a house for 1300 a month I have to know please...
@@Metal_Stacking I live in Texas
Not all houses appreciate in value. If no one wants your house, the value goes down.
It’s only nuts, if you can’t afford it
My husband I paid cash for our cars! No student loan debt, no car leases, no cc debt! We do have some medical debt, but otherwise, we are making it on $31k a year because we hardly have any debt and we rarely eat out or spend money we dont have.
$31K a year combined income? Where do you live?
@@timetowakeup6302 southeast. I am currently doing side hustles instead of full time because I have severe health issues. With my side hustles, we probably make closer to $40k

Perhaps if you had some debt you would have an education which would result in more than $31K income for two people. Not all debt is bad.
I am an American but I'm so happy that I do not have a car obsession like so many Americans. What I want in a vehicle is reliability. My current vehicle is a 2010 Kia Forte with 182,000 miles and still going strong! I bought it new so I'm the original owner. I'll replace it when it dies but when I do, I will seek a low end sedan and I'll keep it for 8 to 10 years as long it runs and is reliable! --- Not being obsessed by the vehicle I drive has saved me tons of money in my lifetime and allowed me many other opportunities!
Considered purchasing a new-used mini van since it’s getting tough being a one car family with four kids. It was $400 a month month and I just couldn’t do it. Can’t even imagine having a car payment like this!
I thought my truck payment was bad 484 a month for 48 months. Then I talked to a guy I work with. He pays 1400 a month for 60 month for his truck.
Has to earn about $2000 to have $1400 after taxes
Both of y’all’s payments are insane
@@WildBoyLiv - Not insane. $484 is good for many people. That said, if I didn't have cash, $320 would be my limit. But as you can see, $484 is not much these days.
Yup prices have got insane. Used trucks with high miles can easily be over $25k now. New is $70k. I had to adjust my view in regards to trucks and just buy what I needed as opposed to what I wanted. That saved me 30k, not including the interest on top of that 30k that I would have had to pay back.
Wow, I remember when my car payment was 200 a month and this was 21 years ago. I'm still driving that car.
That’s a lot for 21 years ago
Bought a brand new truck in 2012 - my first vehicle purchase ever. Thing is, I paid cash and plan on driving it until it blows up. Honestly wonder how the Ramsey team would feel about that considering I was 23 at the time.
When I was younger I worked construction and a lot of them were millionaire friends of the owner. None of them owned good cars. They always told me never invest in depreciating assets.
Crazy. I can't wait til I'm done paying off my 2017 Accord Hybrid. Only $6600 left to go.
Jeez....How long a loan did you take?
@@DaveCompton5150 full price. I believe it was $36k.
Keep it for as long as possible. My truck has 143k miles and still going strong, 2004 GMC Sierra.
@@izgil7541 curious being a hybrid, what does that mean and get for MPG?
Well hopefully the battery doesn’t go, hybrids are a nightmare to repair as they age.
I always drive my cars until the wheels are falling off. When the vehicle finally breaks down and costs more to fix than it is worth, then I go get a used vehicle that fills the need of my family. Unfortunately my latest one I could not buy in cash, but the payment is $290, which I can live with for a Ford Explorer with 60k miles.
Just keep an eye on it for overheating. My brother owned 2 and both had overheating issues.
This is more than what I pay for my house payment, water bill and phone.
There is one exception to this whole segment that I am aware of. The Toyota Tacoma. Used prices are insane. It was cheaper to buy new in 2019
I think the point is there is no need to buy any car right now.. unless you have a car that is a total junk, and unsafe..
That's not at all the point of the video though
@@NaNa-lt1po that’s a personal perspective you have. Some people wanna drive something different for a multitude of reasons. People like what they like.
We recently purchased a 2023 Honda Odyssey. We paid less than the prices both Carvana and Carmax are charging for a 2022 used Odyssey, same trim.
I bought two new cars in my life. I'm so glad I found the Ramsey plan! I couldn't imagine how I was going to make another car payment. Paid cash for what I'm driving now. :)
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
I paid 29,000. Payment is 342.00. Put 10,200 down. Financed 20,500. Loan now 14,100. Paying extra principal every month. Apr is 5.9
I really enjoy the analysis of this videos they find.
It’s like their goal was to normalize it, and wear it like a badge of honor. Imagine the insurance payment to go with that.
and property taxes if you live in one of the ripoff states.
Yeah that’s a good point. If you buy something under $10k for cash, you can just get liability. That will save you around $2k a year in the extra premiums you would pay on something new where you would be required to get full coverage.
Normalize buying a car in cash, and setting money aside for maintenance and taking care of the things you own.
@@tomcat8662 all my vehicles are paid for cash but I keep the highest insurance possible. Most idiots drive without insurance out there. Protect yourself. My dad got ran over on a motorcycle he didn't have enough coverage with minimum. So he basically destroyed his body and got nothing.
I drive a 16 year old car with a BADGE of HONOR and I tell people I am TYLER DURDEN!!!
They definitely need to state their monthly income(s) in comparison to the car payment(s). How much is his family's monthly income that permits him to budget in $2300+ for car payments (not even including gas, car maintenance, vehicle registration, and/or car insurance). What are their housing, groceries, monthly savings, medical costs, etc? SO many questions...
You're assuming they budget. A lot of folks are digging a hole, not budgeting.
Exactly this!
Lifestyle inflation at its finest 😏
I made 170k. 2300 would be outrageous for my budget.
They make bank money
We paid off our home in 2020 and kept our old faithful cars
If you’ll notice in that video of people that work at car dealerships, Each one of them are buying some of the highest priced highest content vehicles on their lots: Ford F150 raptor, Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer, GMC Sierra, Cadillac CTS-V. With the exception of the Caddy, the rest are all trucks with luxury trim levels and average transaction prices starting around $60,000 in the case of the raptor start at $100k. Cheap and cheerful these are not! And the car makers aren’t building a lot of cheap stuff anymore, unless you’re lower and Mitsubishi or Kia. The profit margins on Small compact cars were so thin that car makers like Ford hatchback, made them a little bit taller and started selling them as crossovers so that they could charge about $5000 more per car. We as American car buyers are so crazy about crossovers, SUVs and trucks what we’re buying anyway, Even though those classes of vehicles do typically cost more money. The profit margins are a lot higher on a full-size SUV than they are on a Taurus. It’s all quite crazy. Which is why I’m going to hang onto my paid for 2011 Honda Accord for a good long while!
I'm so scared for these people. They don't even know how much danger they're in.
Why
@@JuCarlos-ex8ip god forbid something happens and they can't make these crazy payments anymore and they get into spiraling debt.
They can get laid off or something
The bank repossesses the car.
Yeah, those three people had better keep their jobs at the dealership!
My co-worker has a $600 car pymt on a 2022 Nissan Rogue, her mother's is $900 same car premium level, her son $700 on a 2022 Nissan Altima. Unbelievable to have those pymts.
Just wait until the CVT needs replaced for $5000
About to finish my Camry SE 2018 and you have no idea how good that feels! I'm paying less than 400 a month and I'm glad I got it pre pandemic
On our debt free journey, baby step 2.
We have 2 cars, one paid off and one financed.
We owed $6800 on the one, dealership gave us $6900 to get us out of the debt for good!
It feels SO good to be car debt free and to have $378 back in our pockets every month!
My wife and I bring in a little over 120k a year net and have two payments in the 600s and it makes me sick.
agreed... it sucks on my end too
I make 150k, my wife stays home and we have two vehicles, 2019 HRV and 2020 Corolla.
I couldn’t imagine having 1200$ in vehicle payments 😂
Edit: we have one payment of $240/mo, I could pay it off but prefer to invest.
@@akronorka sounds like a good arrangement... it's all about priorities
I bought a new 30k Subaru Forester in 2021. I financed 20k for a pmt of $299/mo. I will pay it off in 2.5-3 yrs. I will have a paid off, quality SUV with only 12k miles on it because my work is so close to home, and i will drive it for at least 10 more years. In these insane car times, my vehicle is currently worth more than I paid for it.
And you live once and that's it and of that life you gonna spend in a Subaru Forster.
@@henrybrar 😂😂
@@henrybrar So being financial responsible is bad?? What he needs to buy a Mercedes or a BMW to live life paying $600 car payment??
Shoot those are 50k at my dealership today in 2022 😂
@@henrybrar Have you seen the new Foresters? They are pretty good.
My sister and I both bought cars in April of 2021. I bought an ‘06 Corolla LE off a dinky little car lot for $4400 cash. I was stunned when she told me she bought a 2016 MERCEDES from Carmax or maybe it was Carvana. I don’t even wanna know what the interest rate is, but the payment is just shy of $700. She figured if she was going to have a car payment, it may as well be a nice car. Insurance is almost $300 a month. I don’t know why she didn’t settle for a more practical car. Yeah, I have the occasional repair that sometimes takes a chunk, but I couldn’t deal with an almost $700 payment EVERY month.
A couple of weeks back my 2006 VW spent a well-deserved day at the mechanic, while at the shop I saw several engines laying in the corner So I asked the mechanic why so many of them, He said that more people are willing to spend big money to keep their current cars on the road.
You guys nailed it 😂 thumbs up 👍
Our rule of thumb was to never have a car payment over $300…. Now we are at the point where we pay cash
My next car is gonna be a 10+ year old Buick. Driven by a recently deceased grandma and 40k miles.
Eventually $300 won't even buy a can of soda. In 1996 I earned $2 an hour now I earn $20 an hour.
This all comes down to how people want to be perceived. Driving a brand new Raptor makes people THINK you’re good with money. Makes people THINK your bank account is huge. That you have it together. When in reality it’s almost always the opposite.
Except for those of us that follow channels like this one. We see that and wonder to ourselves how much debt that person is most likely in lol
Those car payments are more than my rent and utilities per month 🤢
You guys or the best taught me so much about saving and being smart with my money.
Paying over $100k for a Jeep is one of the dumbest financial decisions one can make. I see these new Wagoneers on the road and just shake my head. Not only are they garbage, but these people can't afford it. I see one parked in the driveway of a $250k house.
LOL it is mind boggling. And for a jeep nonetheless!
Imagine having all of your net worth tied up in a depreciating asset 🤣
To be fair, while it’s not worth more than $50k, it’s still a sweet ride!!
It's even more fun to see them parked in front of apartments
@@XD1908 Oh, I also see newer S Class pulling out of an apartment complex multiple times per week. The complex isn't even that nice.
This makes me feel not as bad about spending 10k on a truck yesterday.
100%. I'd easily qualify for a loan like these people, but I'm very glad I bought a truck I was comfortable writing a check for, and buying outright.
And that's why they made the video. To make you not feel so bad about buying a new car.
Please tell me it wasn't a Ford F150 with a 5.4L 3V Triton engine

George, please make "Roll that beautiful bean footage" apart of your opening to a new video. It's perfect my man.
Bought a 95 Camry with 130k miles on it for $1200 a few months back. I love having no payment and insurance is like $50 a month
"This is not method acting." LOL priceless.
Wow, our house payment isn’t even close to those payments.
Where do you live?
My mortgage is lower than every car payment listed. I'm in Dallas, Tx. Bought in 2014.
Same here. Mine is less than $800 .

Haha I would love a mortgage payment around $1300. Now it’s more like 2500 for a mortgage!
