Re:Car Owners Fall Behind on Payments at Highest Rate on Record

You can’t take money with you when you die, so why not spend it on fun things?
Obviously you need to be able to “afford it”, but what that means depends a lot on subjective opinion and risk appetite.
For me, I have bought a handful of new and used vehicles in the last several years. Probably something like $300k total in 5 years? They are fun.
Bragging about spending less is no different than bragging about spending more.

It’s the half that’s west (that is, toward 90 degrees) of the Trans Antarctic Mountains. I agree and was curious too, kind of a funny deal.
