Precisely and then their girlfriend says they want to have a kid, then they need a bigger car and uncle Ugo swoops in with 27.5k to buy the car with all the goodies already bought by someone else


And that people is how WINNING is really done


(I'm Ugo btw)

Bought not built!


Fu bought his car done already. Saved him a shit load of money.
Great plan if the other guy did what you would have anyway. Much like the dealer did to mine.

What I'd do for your tenacity

Well that reads meaner then it was and it also went on much longer but that was the gist of it. I was semi dragging it out anyway since she has a tight sweater and short skirt and I am old.

I just want to thank everyone here for their solid financial advice and for supporting the economy.

(no really i don't understand this part). Probably because i didn't go to college :P

You guys said "lol glad I didn't go to college, I racked up $30k of debt on car stuff instead of a useless paper!"

And I'm over here like, "got degree, no debt..."

Although did have a leg up on the college game, if I hadn't I'd be done with student loans right about now and shopping for a used FR-S. Not really an insult just... there are many ways to skin a cat.

Keep your pace because I know from experience that's the mentality that fucks you when shit goes south, and shit does go south. If he loses his job hes fucked in most cases. Been there done that got a T-shirt. No thanks

So you scrimp and save and do not live a life out of fear?
Once again your personal experiences are the clear cut only option?
You think that I did not plan the things I have done?
Sure I could lose my job but would be in a new one inside a week. You have no idea what my situation is beyond a few lines I typed so do not be so quick to judge my "mentality".

Um k
Wasn't even talking about you.
Talking about someone who has boats, credit card debt, home, and a cottage and goes to Vegas every year and hopes to have it paid off by retirement. I know that's a dangerous mentality, because I had the same mentality then I got wiser because of it. My focus is on a bigger picture

Okay going back are re-reading, it was you.

Maybe you didn't have the economy bomb drop on you like we did in the in the US but I saw a lot of people, even rich people lose everything, cabins, beach homes cars, houses, everything and wind up on the street. You couldn't find a job fast enough to pay off the debt you had if you carried debt. And thats the going south im talking about. You can't find a job if there are no jobs


If you can pay it off by retirement, all power to you ,but on the average when folks pack that much debt, they keep it till they die

normal people would just get another job, or if they were seriously unable to, theres plenty of other options that let you keep the car (if paying it off on the drip) and plenty of other options if you're willing to let it go until you're in a position to get one again.

You're talking like losing a job is the end of the world, it all just depends how badly a person wants to keep the things they have, or how flexible they're willing to be about what jobs they're willing to apply for.

As for the person you're talking to, eh, if he thinks he can pay it off by the time hes retired then more power to him.

I don't care. It will all be paid off before I retire.
