Just bought an 11 year old car for 12k. Because a new one would've wiped out my savings and then some after saving for 5 years to replace my 20 year old car. Nobody can afford shit.
People need to stop "pretending" they can afford all this shit, it's not needed and noone cares, who are people showing off too?
New iphone? Don't need it
Maybe if we stop buying shit these companies will actually try
I bought a boat last year and now I want a bigger one. I've got lots of disposable income because I don't live beyond my means. Lots of people carry credit card debt and spend stupidly. Don't do that and you'll likely be ahead of most people.
The boats are around 2k. Not huge rich guy money.
The cost of a boat is primarily in upkeep, not price. You’ll see.
