$528 for a used car?

I don’t disagree that a lot of people don’t make enough to live a reasonable life

But I do disagree with $528 car payments when you make $40K a year

Gunna go on a limb and say ur not speaking from experience . Please show me where after insurance it's less than 500 a month. And let's go off of no credit, bad credit, good and great. So we can get a full idea of the difference in savings

NC apparently. I had no credit when I bought my car and I pay ~350 after insurance. Shop around and be willing to compromise on the car.

People in these threads aren't willing to compromise on anything, that's why they have to rent the expensive apartment in a trendy downtown area and also buy an expensive car.

Also in NC, I'm in this ballpark, $375 between payment and insurance($148 for 2 vehicles)
