its more like you spent a few grand to put in a new engine (when you bought it was 8 years old and now it 15+)and hope someone on CL will take it for 1000 because the market is shit and has a shitload of 5 year old cars for a few thousand bucks
TBH most millennials have grown up with the mentality of the 70s and 80s where once they graduate university, they can get a nice job and afford a decent place. Nowadays, they have to pour over half their income into a "shack" and hope for the best. God forbid you think of vacations or even a retirement savings plan.  Your dad had enough money to buy a corvette before you were born and he sold it because you were in the oven.. Good luck paying for car2go nowadays |
If you can't afford to maintain the car, take transit
Same goes for housing
