I have two cars and both those payments combined are under $500. I’m not paying $800 a month for one damn car.

Right?! I pay $380 a month for my car, a very comfortable and efficient Kia Forte. Sometimes I take a look at other cars that are around $30k, only $5k more than I paid for the Kia, and somehow the car payments are $600 a month! Not even sort of worth it

That’s not even including car insurance which has been skyrocketing everywhere
