Man that's so weird, I see Broncos every day, lol.
There are a million and one ways to make money now. People are making money by playing video games, people are making money by whispering into a microphone. People are making money by eating a lot... I know someone who immigrated here without a college degree with $15 to her name and is now earning over $100,000 a year legally and she immigrated here less than 5 years ago... I have friends who recently made thousands by investing in meme stocks from reddit. I mean, maybe these people are wizards, who knows...
The problem is that for every one of of those examples there is atleast half a dozen Americans choosing between paying bills, paying rent, buying food, or buying more debt. The consumer price index and income numbers year over year tell you whats what. The whole reason the maverick is so popular is because it is so cheap. If it was more expensive than the Santa Cruz it wouldnt be sold out, and I would have waited or tried to buy a base bronco.
But that's the thing, a lot of people would make a smart decision to buy an affordable car while a bunch of others will take out a huge loan to buy something completely unnecessary... The opportunity is there to earn money. Yes inflation is crazy but it's not exactly impossible to succeed. I'm not saying that's the case for everyone, obviously there are some cases of people who are trying hard but fail due to extenuating circumstance, but I just don't see it the same way as that person stated that everyone is just getting poorer and poorer as if the opportunities are not there...
True, now we just pile em in landfills every 2 years when a new quality of glare comes out.People repair TV's?
For me this $27,000 loan is a huge loan. Its the only new car I've bought at 38(my wife is 46 and her first new car too). We both work 40 plus hours a week. And $350 a month is going to be a big expense for us. I have never been in debt by more that $3000 in my life. Also never had that much in long term saving either. The majority of this country is living literally paycheck to paycheck just like me. I just see more people slipping into poverty than moving up in class. Its kind of been going that way since the turn of the century. Rich are getting richer and the poor and just getting by folks are getting less and less every year ability to find the "American Dream" every year. Cheap utilitarian multi-tool cars will be making a comeback for sure.
