  • Why is no one calling bullshit on these numbers? 10%/mo of 100k/yr = $833 a month. That is a HUGE monthly loan repayment. That’s a $43,000 vehicle with nothing as a down payment. You can get a new car for less than half that. (And then on the next round you can trade in or sell your old one for more down payment.) Even if you figure that’s 100k pre-tax, you should still be left with roughly 70-80% of that, which is more than plenty for a basic new car.

    I’m not arguing that inflation has been ridiculous, because it absolutely has. The bottom 90% of folks are getting fucked. But let’s use real numbers.
