Maybe banks need to lobby so people can get better wages.

My car is paid off :hubie:
a bank dont care if you get a better wage, a bank trying to keep the money YOU giving them.

i got arm twisted into bank account, still not happy about it, now they want me to upgrade the account, for what?

much like the employer only cares about ya work output, a bank only care about how much of yo money they can keep

Coli brehs are still stuck in 1990s where you could buy an old coralla or civic for $500. They’re selling buckets with 120k+ miles for $3-5k and the average American can’t afford that.
Yep. My car was hit by a deer in 2022 when I tried to find one of these cheap cars. Everyone talks about, but it was impossible, especially after COVID-19.

I bought a car for 25K.

You gambling by owning a car you can't afford to maintain. That 1K car is likely going to do you just fine, and if it doesn break down on you, you can just junk and get another one for cheaper than it cost riding around in that 1K a month lease.

Your logic is not making sense, People are buying 40k car new. getting predatory terms and paying an extra 15k on top of it. Taxed 1k a month.
but saving up 3K and paying it in full is too much money.


Part exchange that's how I upgrade 😎

Still got my 05 Camry running strong. Smooth like butter v6. Only 80k miles on it. Oil change, occasional brake job and tires, that really it. Cheap insurance also.

Cars are a big status symbol so people tend to want something nice and exceed their finances. It’s a bad mindset.
