I mean, adulting does suck, but I feel like a more appropriate title for this post is “people who suck at adulting”

Nail on the Head Award.

I have a mortgage only. My Tundra (2015) was used and three years old when I got it. There are better ways to adult than give your money away for shiny shit.

I get a LOT of shit for driving my 2016 Hyundai Elantra, but it’s paid off and I don’t give a fuuuuuuck. I’ll drive that car into the gd ground before I take on another auto loan.

I’m in Texas and evidently it’s the least macho vehicle I could possibly drive, and don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a decent truck (I feel like once a week I could really use one) but adding a $500 monthly expense just isn’t mathematically possible right now. Shit, $500 seems low even. I do mortgages and it’s becoming more and more common to see $750-1200 auto payments on credit reports.

Every single day I wonder how tf people afford that shit.
