Yeah, I'm not defending him or his takes.
But I'm willing to bet even half the people who spout the "yeah, but I invest the freed up cash and make more" don't even do that.
In the end, the original topic of this thread just tells me that the average consumer is overextending themselves and is not being smart about it.
Lets face it, most of this country would be better off in a debt-free environment versus making debt work for them.

It'll depreciate at the same rate as everyone else. You arent getting your money back on that ostrich skin steering wheel.

Wow. I haven't made a car payment since 2003. I prefer it that way.
Pay as little interest on depreciable assets as you can.
Purchased my last 3 vehicles at 0% interest for 60 mos.

5%, tops. They blow the cash, now have no cash and a large, long payment.
Statistics probably support this.

It's still worth more than the one you spent money to add stuff to (money that you will not see one cent back on btw). What an amazing financial advisor you must be.

This. The data is crystal clear. Less savings, more debt, flat income.

well, within context, you would have to know lnch's financial situation for your "go buy a $90k truck LOL" bit to make sense, no?
which is why I thought it was an odd post

I was responding to an individual poster whop had been riding me like a show pony for 10 pages because I DARED question the truck nut class, not making a blanket assessment of the population writ large? Cmon dude.

Financing a rapidly depreciating, and completely unnecessary, asset to the point where you could NEVER liquidate your way out of it is fricking dumb.

MSRP on a King Ranch is 56K. Its 40K on an XLT. That's a 16K difference in price, but the difference in retail for a 2015 King Ranch versus a 2015 XLT is only about 5K.
Its a depreciating asset whose floor value is scrap. The more you spend, the more you lose.
