I found a gem of a local dealer when buying my wife’s car. When it’s time for mine, I’ll definitely go there first.

The funny part is that I had one of those shady types who “forgot” to call me back for two weeks. He was astounded when I told him I had bought a car the day after, and that I would probably never deal…

Awww! Little girl is trying to fat-shame! How sweet! You wear jeans that fit your body... Mmmm hmmm.... I’m sure you tell yourself that while you’re taping that tuck. There are plenty of jeans that aren’t skinny jeans that fit all sorts of frames. YOU just want to look pretty. And hey! That’s OK. I don’t mind. Be…

Plus, you’re paying and additional $7200 for the vehicle by having a 72 month payment instead of a 48.

Then move somewhere you can afford. It isn’t rocket surgery.

The only advice I can give is this: Don’t get attached to a car until after you buy it. If that guy won’t budge, find something else. I know that sucks, but it’s not worth getting an ulcer over a car.

Best thing you could have done. You have to walk away from those guys, or they’ll screw you.

That’s a warning flag for me when buying a car. I had that exact guy when I bought my car. I got wise when I bought my wife’s car. The dealer at the place we went for her car (Who wasn’t the dealership where I bought my car) was perfectly happy to let me talk about the total price. He then ran my credit and got me 2…

The market crash wasn’t the fault of Gen X. It was the fault of the Baby Boomer politicians forcing banks to offer loans to people who obviously couldn’t afford them.

Sure, and sometimes that brand new car you bought is also a lemon. Sure, you have a warranty, but you’re paying a ton. I’ve gotten burned on a TDI. Great engine, just as advertised. But the turbo, went out, the AC crapped out, the suspension falied, etc... But man that engine kept cranking!

Perhaps...

My mortgage and car payments are under both of those, and I have a 2014 car and a house. My home’s gone up about 40% in value too, so all in all, yay!

Well, at least you got an education from all that school! :D

I drove the same car for 7 years, gave it to my wife, and she drove it for 3 more. I drove the used car I bought for 1.5 years until my mechanic told me to get rid of the thing... NOW. My wife totaled her car, and so now we have 2 car payments for the first time in years. .

I live in a very modest house. I have no…

We have 4 things we pay on. 2 cars (my wife recently totaled her old, paid off car so we had to. Her old paid off car was mine, so I had to get a car, and the used one I bought was a nightmare), the house, and her school debt. Literally everything else we buy, we pay for with cash. We have zero credit card debt, and…

What was the old saw?

A dumb man will ask how much the payment is, a smart one will ask how much it costs?

FYI, the luminous ring on the flashlight doesn’t seem to work very well. But the light itself is pretty solid. Got one for my wife’s car and one for mine.

Yep. You definitely need to wear girl jeans. Someday they’ll drop and you’ll understand.

Shhh.... shhh... it’s OK honey. You’ll be fine. Go get a mani-pedi and just have a good cry in your safe space. I didn’t mean to make you feel so triggered, you precious little snowflake.

It’s funny how you’re projecting so strongly. Obviously I’m not the one who’s being affected by something too close to home. Don’t…

I don’t know that I’ve ever owned NB. I’m sure your clown shoes look just darling with your skinny jeans and crop top though.
