I know I learned my lesson about spending too much on a car. My dumb ass when I was 19 bought a 32k car and it turned out to be a huge problem. My dad ended up just taking over payments on it for me so it didnt fuck me up too badly. I was dumb as shit back then and thought the easy money (12-15k/month or more off my cj sites) I was making in this biz would last forever. I am never ever getting myself into that situation again. I have lived off 20k/month and I have lived off of less than 20k/year and I just turned 25 years old last week. After things came crashing down I was driving a 1982 F-150 that I had already had to haul shit in as my only vehicle, then my wife got pregnant and we had to get something that you could actually get a car seat in, so I found a 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 ghetto as fuck car (when you drive thru the ghetto here in my town those cars are parked in front of almost every house, hahahhaa) for 450$ that ran really good, that was our main vehicle for over a year and a half until things started turning around for us. The last 6 months we drove that Olds beast we could have afforded a nicer car but I thought what the hell its still running good so why not keep driving it. Then my wife got pregnant and the wife bitched about that damn car non stop so I finally gave in when her aunt offered to sale us her 93 Ford Explorer that was in like new condition with very low miles for 5k, they only wanted 1k down and let us make payments interest free, well next month will be a year we have had that car and we will have that fucker paid off next month too. And that old truck and Oldsmobile are still running to this day haha, my broke ass brother always has car problems so I let him drive them whenever he need a vehicle which has been everyday for the last year and a half hahaha.
Sorry for boring everyone with my car story but, it proves that anyone can get by without needing a fucking 20k new car, especially someone who makes 8$/hour.
