      My system is simple, do one large purchase thing at a time. I recently made a vehicle purchase so all of my effort will be directed towards paying it off as quickly as possible. The trick is not letting myself get distracted doing other things. In the past year I've been able to put a solar room on my house and remodel my kitchen using credit but paying it off after it's done. When the dust settles I am back to being debt free. The temptation to use high credit limit credit cards is always there but my solution is to not carry them on me.

  • @johnkonde1975

    Yep high interest rates is one of the main reasons for reduced demand for new vehicles. Another reason is that Americans have simply become more comfortable with owning a vehicle for longer. Pre-pandemic, when new vehicles were cheap and plentiful, many Americans traded in their vehicles every 3 years for a new vehicle. This created a strong constant demand for new vehicles. Nowadays, a lot of those same Americans are keep their vehicles for 7-8 years or even longer. This then reduces demand. Throw in tightening bank requirements for car loans and it's no wonder demand has reduced so much

    Not only are car prices out of hand, all costs associated with car ownership have skyrocketed as well. Insurance, maintenance, and gas. In California, Allstate got the greenlight to raise all premiums by 30% and of course my rates would have went up by the full 30% by my next renewal, even having never made a claim with them for almost 10 years. I told them to shove it and switched insurance. Barely paying slightly less now.
    Both cars in my family are completely paid off. One just a couple of months ago. I would have traded in the older car(8 years old / 65,000 miles) and bought a new truck, but with the prices on everything now, hell no. I'm happy to keep my cars another 5 years or longer and put that money into my portfolio towards retirement.
    FGN! FJB!

    I think it's really good for a car reviewer to be talking about debt. The car industry is all run on debt, and the dealers and car companies wouldn't be in business without getting people in debt. It would be interesting if you started reviewing used cars that people don't need to take huge loans out on. Thanks Ben.

    The problem is dealers screwed banks into giving loans that were unrealistic to the value of the car being sold. That has caused a REPO epidemic like few have ever seen. Banks don't trust dealers anymore and consumers are in debt trouble and banks are not just saying yes to anyone with a 650-credit score.

    That is just one slice of the pie, also during the pandemic people paid mark ups and now they owe $30-$40,000 on a vehicle that’s only worth Kelley Blue Book trade-in $$15,000. it is laughable of how much people are upside down and their trades so that’s why they say new cars are too expensive because they still have to roll in $10,000 worth of negative equity 😂

    If it's any consolation to folks last weekend I took delivery of my new Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison and bear in mind I have zero debt, nothing. Well today I have a single car payment to make that's the sum total of my bills. I also put down a substantial amount of cash and to top it off I have an 830 credit score so yes my credit soared right through, but I still ended up with 7% financing which thankfully will end up getting paid off within a year so it's no big deal to me. So it doesn't matter even if with near perfect credit and no debt or having tons of debt.
