Sleep less and you would be able to keep up better :imo:

I went to sleep at 1 this morning and between many daddy duties just got a chance to check back and this is what I found :shrug: I guess I should put TYF in front of my kids eating breakfast :slap:

:lol:

Here's a good example of living beyond your means. Recently an acquaintance decided to purchase a new Sierra. Sticker was $45,000 or something to that effect. They traded in their existing truck (which wasn't old or paid off), reducing the price to $38,000 after existing rebates. Monthly payment is $560 a month for 78, but possibly more months and 6%.

Annual income? $23,000.


We're all hedging our bets on when they'll file bankruptcy.

I could name several people I know that are in the same scenario. In fact I'd be willing to bet this is most of America. This is why we are in hard times. People want the bling and image status and don't care if they can afford it or not.

As for Serge, you are right on the money with everything you've said. a $50k Tahoe is a $50k Tahoe no matter how you look at it. This is a bad post in so many ways because people will gawk at the "Paid in Cash" people and cry when they see $900/month payments. Its all the same in the end. We all have the same vehicles. I think what the post should state is NEW or USED and what the payments are. That's why a lot of these numbers don't float.

That situation isn't even the tip of the iceberg with them. Ridiculous best explains it, followed by embarrassing. A lot of people make stupid mistakes with money, this kid just leads the pack.

For further proof of the situation America is in, just drive by your local low-income apartment complex and play spot the new vehicle. Then drive back by again in a year, betcha they won't be there anymore. This game is also played best midday, Monday through Friday.
