Americans are behind on car payments at a record level

It can be fixed if people budget better.

Ordering McDonald's via Door Dash for a Mac Meal which will run you about $20.00....then complain about how things are so bad for you.

I NEVER use those delivery apps. the ONLY exception is when I want something that doesn't have a website, I will use something like grubhub and select the pickup option. prices are essentially the same when u do that however.

People are in competition with themselves

Going out here getting a $50,000 car while putting only $2,000 down so they can rush onto the streets and say “ look at me ya’ll , im on the same level as so and so”

Then they calling around asking for light, gas , phone bill money” or working a extra 30 hours just to have that extra 200 dollars to make it for the month

How much should you put down on a 50k car?

I've been driving the same car for 8 years now. Paid off since 2019. I figured I would have had a Honda Passport by now but those prices are unacceptable. 500+ car notes not including insurance, no wonder people can't get ahead. Anything that runs on Craigslist costs $1500 minimum even if it's leaking oil, rusted, and the drivers door doesn't work.

Shoutout to the Biden and Trump administrations for banning all affordable Chinese vehicles in the US while importing almost all car parts from them Love them tariffs.

The food is always colder than if you picked it up and brought it home yourself.

Imagine eating some cold Popeye's

Maintenance for a junk car will still run your pockets
I have a two cars but drive my beater daily
I’ve sunken 7 grand into my 2010 Pathfinder in the last 5 months
Everything from brakes, starter, camshafts, spark plugs, whole intake and now I need a new catalytic converter
So no you can’t just buy a beater and be okay
Cars break down and need shyt fixed
Buying a new car and buying a old one will have you both fukked up
You just see the new car fukkery up front but an old car comes with just the amount of fukkery
Even if you know a good honest mechanic
Then these insurance companies are big stepping with these egregious prices
I really question how some of you nikkas live
I also find it funny in an ironic kinda of way
You nikkas hate republicans but use their same talking points when threads come up of Americans struggling knowing what everybody is facing outside at the moment
But I’m the paag loving c00n

A lot of these dudes love Republicans.

That was just a hypothetical saying

But u need to put enough down so your payments lined up with what u could afford and thats on any price of a car
