...Most houses cost too much. Way over priced and stuffed with amenities that tickle the pride, but really serve no purpose. Due to easy credit, they sell pretty well...
As I mentioned elsewhere, I have a 2007 Silverado. It has about 125,000 miles on it now. The exterior is perfect- not a speck of rust, no body damage. the interior is great, floor's dirty, but no visible wear on anything.
I can see myself repowering this thing when it becomes necessary (iron block 5.3L) and rebuilding this as needed rather than buying another truck. With the prices these days, for me, it seems like the way to go.
I just don't see how I can be expected to go #1 or #2 unless the counter top in the bathroom was hewn from the bowels of the earth in Vermont or Carrara.
I guess I'm the exception on INGO. I have a 2016 SUV that has a healthy monthly payment. I don't care either. I'm in sales, and I put 50,000-60,000 miles on a car each year, so I must have a quality vehicle to drive. I get an allowance as well, so in reality, the company is paying for it.
...I haven't had a car payment since 2001
I haven't had a car payment since 1987.
My only car note is 2.5%
GM stock is paying 4.27% in dividends.
I could have paid for the car in cash, and I could pay it off today. Why would I?
With the average price of a new car reportedly over $30,000 who the heck is buying them?
Agree INGO is not the place to report on how much people owe on cars. I too have no car payments and intend on keeping it that way for a long time.
Is leasing a legit viable option for some or is it a scam?

I will say that the new F150's and Silverados are very very nice
I agree, but I briefly looked into a Colorado diesel (80 mile round trip every day). $40,000 outfitted the way I would like it. No thanks.
