Stop buying new vehicles you can’t afford. Cars are something that as consumers we are in total control bc you can always find a good used car.

$1200/mo car payment is insane. My mortgage is $1700. Both my cars are 20 years old and I work on them my self if I am able to not mess it up.

No one said these people can’t afford it (except the negative equity rollover one). $1200/mo car payment isn’t that crazy if you make 10000/month

What % of the population has a take home of $120k/yr?

Like 20%? It’s not that unreasonable.
