Spend money on what makes you happy. Pick and choose your spots unless you have so much you don’t have to be selective. Some people like to drink/eat and spend 500 plus a month on that. It’s really all about what you prioritize.

I cannot fathom why you would ever consider longer than 60 months even at 3% and less interest


I would do 84 month and just pay early

Gives you lead way if you want to go light a month

No such thing as 0% interest


Then how did I manage to pay not 1 cent of interest on my last car?

You paid a higher price for the car than you needed to.

It's the Jos A Bank Buy 1 get 6 free type deal.

I just put down 15k for a new car, and the note will be something like 750 after I added all the packages and shite. But it will be paid off within the year.

Apparently, you are doing it wrong. You need to attach 6 more years to that payment plan.

you negotiate the price BEFORE talking method of payment. So once the price is established, your point makes no sense. They don't go back and ADD to the price if you later decide to finance with them

You're doing it very wrong if you are letting the government hold that much of your money for free.


I usually get like $100 back between state and fed. By design.



I was claiming Married and 9. They weren't taking a whole lot out. I thought about going Married and 99 like a lot of guys did. I just got back mostly everything I paid in because I claimed head of household and had a ton of deductions and expenses. I also got to write off stuff I did on what is technically a 'tree farm' where my property is I have a tax strategy I try and follow. It was a singularly good year that I doubt I'll ever repeat, esp with the new tax laws.

I agree, it's better to have your money now rather than later. With the way the tax laws are now I'm doing Single and 2. I still have a couple of write offs. but I should just about break even on the Federal and since California still allows deductions I'll get some back from them. This will be the first year the new tax laws will really change anything for me since I worked so little last year.

Never lost money at a casino either I bet. Because they got a system.

Amen brother. I emailed 8 dealerships constantly and spent damn near 180 hours to save 2800 bucks on my F250 platinum
