re: Driving old, crappy vehicles is the way to go

I bought a 2002 camry from a friend that moved to a different country.1200 bucks and in decent condition. 48$ insurance monthly and no note. I'll get 2 years out of that hog.

Wealthy or not, this is financially a poor decision.
Take the money you waste on vehicles and invest it instead.

I get a kick out of people who say this and then spend thousands of dollars each year for their kids with poor genetics to play "travel ball."

I inherited my grandfather's car when he passed away 2 years ago. 1999 Toyota Camry with 78k miles on it I kept it at my grandparents house until the house sold then took it home and started driving it daily. I figure I can get 7-8 years out of it at least. Pay my wife's '14 Mazda this year. It only has 40k miles on it. I normally get her a new car when her car hit 100k when I take it over and drive it until the wheels fall off. Don't really care what people think of my old man beige Camry. I take my pleasure in our lake house on the weekends instead of in a depreciating asset I drive around in during the week.
