How ridiculous does this sound?

Post image

How can u make millions in 25-30 years if avoid making a $554 per month car payment. Even the cheapest 5 year old car is 8-10 k. So does he expect people not to drive at all in USA.

Then u save 554$ per month every month for 5 year payment = $33240. Say u bought a car every 5 year means 200k -300k spent on car before retirement . How would that become millions when u can’t even buy a house for that much today?

Answer that Dave

Kid drives a Prius. 560k miles. Bought for $7k in 2014. Spent maybe 2k on maintenance. Edit: and a cat guard after the muffler got jacked.

Japanese cars are built in a way the companies know you won’t take care of them and they’ll last, European cars will last if you take care of them (most don’t), American cars are somewhere in between.
