For me though, I'd rather live comfortably in a nicer 2 bed 2 bath condo with reasonable monthly payment and a meh car versus living paycheck to paycheck with a fancy house and car. The amount stress is just insane doing paycheck to paycheck...
This girl I know who works in a construction office as admin has a $800 car payment... I honestly don't even know how she can afford that. I mean, at the MOST she makes $20/hour, and I think she makes less than that. It blows my mind.
