I've only ever bought like 20 year old used cars. I can't even comprehend how anyone has enough money to afford a new car. It's not even the price of the car itself, which is always absurd anyways, but the cost of insurance on a car that new and registration is also just insane. A friend of mine recently bought a car that was only 5 years old and their payments including insurance and everything are still almost as much as the mortgage on my house. It's no wonder everyone is under water with their car loans.
Where did you find that cheap-ass house?
The 90s
Nope. 2021. It just looks like a place where people turn into missing persons and it's in a fairly low COL city. I am also just barely scraping by on the payments until the PMI drops off.
Fair enough. Was being cheeky. Hopefully things loosen up for you soon 🤞
