I can't even count how many nieces and nephews maybe 20-30 of them between what I have on wife's side and my side, most in their 20's and 30's. One owns a home, the one that took an old toyora throw away from one of his elders. The rest have all ruined their life with stupid car loans, it makes me sick, how stupid are these kids today? Their justification, well I make a lot so I deserve it, lol. I have NOT financed a vehicle since I was 21 years old, and I had financed a couple then because I had too. The most successful nephew I have has/had a business, his wife is a good looking woman for sure, entitled to hell and back, first made him buy here a new fancy SUV, drove it two years still 5 years on loan, made him buy a different one, a land rover, lol I **** you not. Now he sold his business, and is stocking shelves, and his wife is the bread winner as an xray tech, and they are living in her mom's basement, yeah they still have the new fancy ass car and I forget the payment but it has to be near a grand. And meanwhile his brother is living in a million dollar house renting rooms driving a cab. Now, ten years have passed from the decision to buy a fancy car, and this nephew is still broke watching his brothers star rise, and the housing market has completely left him. Bad decisions last a lifetime, I have bought 4 homes because I didn't do those things, first when I was 29 years old, took that long to save a down payment. Now we can buy homes for sport if we wanted to, and I know when my nephews get my age, they will not have what we had, no way in hell. The number one reason is the housing prices, the number two reason is their thought the deserve nice cars because they make a certain amount. The rent in this area are the same as the mortgages, one bedroom starts at 2400 a month. You spend money on a new truck if you don't already own a home, just get a camper shell and plan on living in it.
