Exactly my point. People are buying the car now. Well, since June. The financial crisis of 2006-2010 has already happened. It is not catching anyone by surprise now. If you are in bad shape financially then you should not spend 25K on a car.
I raised 4 kids. I gave them money for their first car. A used one. I am there to bail them out when things get too bad but I expect them to make it on their own. They will appreciate the things the have much more if they earn it. I advise them on fiscal restraint and living within their means.
If someone WANTS to work a second job to fill their time then I stand corrected. If someone HAS to work a second job to pay for their new sports car then they should not have bought the car. If your mom is paying your rent but you have a fancy car then shame on you.
