I’m about 43 years old and I literally just bought my first new car this year - and that was with a few years of saving/planning for a sub $30k car. Prior to that, every car was at least a decade old at purchase time, each one driven until they died.
It blows my mind how someone could just walk into a dealer and drop 70k, 80k, or way more on something “just for fun”.
This.
I was at work and there was one guy that is well off, him and his sister don’t really have to work, trust fund kids but he still works a regular job.
One guy keeps showing up late because his car is a clunker, breaks down quite regularly.
So this well off guy, who has multiple cars, just says… why don’t you just buy a new car?
Everyone kind of stopped and just looked at him.
We were all in our mid-twenties at that time so nobody had any kind of savings.
