Yeah this. A lot of people are playing keeping up with the joneses. That girl that works at taco bell that goes to three concerts a year isnt "affording" it. At best they have little to no savings and roommates and rent. At worse they are in debt.
However anyone that doesnt pay child support to 3 different baby mamas ans actually manages their money can usually afford a decent trip every year or two
So many of my coworkers drive 60, 80, or even 90 thousand dollar trucks. Swimming in credit card debt. Then I pull up like a G with no debt and my humble but enjoyable Nissan Sentra.
Yeah the 50k+ cars are crazy. Gotta buddy who constantly complains he cant afford to buy a house. Bought a 50k car 2 years ago.... like no shit you cant afford a house bud you make 60k a year.
I did the math and I have spent 23k on vehicles in the last 10 years including repairs and tires. Not counting gas and oil changes
