@@AK.__ Oh trust me, I've tried giving actual Financial Advice...it's just that you must adapt your advice to your audience. You know how poorly my videos of me trying to give actual Financial Advice go? Exactly. At the end of the day man, Cars in general are just awful financially and all us car guys know that lol. So when you take that grain of salt, you have to adjust the advice for the people who still want to "Enjoy their life" as a car enthusiast. Otherwise my actual financial advice would've been similar to Scotty Kilmer or Dave ramsey which would be, "ENDLESS MONEY PITS!!!" Being a car guy is an endless money pit lmfao. I will become such a bore if I just give true financial advice while also maintaining a connection my mostly Car Enthusiast audience. That would make me become jaded and disconnected with them. I get it, they're young, so am I, we all want to live a little, but there are smarter ways to do so....even if the whole thing itself still is a little stupid. Cause like I said, no matter what, "We're all just endless money pits" 🤣

[@AK.__]

@@BladedAngel You basically very right here...need to adjust to target audience, otherwise it will be lost. Scotty is very dramatic, his content is good for people who needs the mean of transportation and not a car.

[@BattleKing00]

My philosophy is; if I can't buy it in full and have some extra, I won't buy it yet. 25% of my pay checks go into a savings account, I pay for my bills and such, then the rest basically goes toward my car. I also never let my main account go under $1000. I have a list of mods I want to do to my car and I buy them as I get the the money, step by step. Although there are definitely times that I wish the process would go faster.

If you associate yourself / your parents to a middle class, the financing or loans - are your friends forever. Nothing wrong with it, cause simply we do not have large amount of money to pay for expensive item.

PayPal’s 6 month 0% is awesome too. Obviously, it’s really similar to the pay 4 thing, just with two extra months. I try to only finance stuff when I absolutely need to, but I have used the PayPal program to update my wardrobe on an occasion or two when I didn’t necessarily want to be out $400 for something that needed to be done, but wasn’t pressing. Plus you have the added security that PayPal offers. Also I have been denied for pay in 4 programs before. Not sure what that was about. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another thing people forget about paying off loans, especially car loans, is pay your monthly payment as early as you can afford every day that you wait to pay it is more interest. Paying your car loan even 10 days early can sometimes put 20 to $30 more on the principle, which is hundreds of dollars saved every year.

I have been watching this channel on and off for a few years. About 4 years ago I started working to build my credit, and I found BladedAngel along the way. I followed a lot of the financial advice you gave and a lot from financial channels and I'm on my way to having a great score and I've now bought my dream car (Elantra N). It takes time planning and effort, but you can get there if you are patient and make the right decisions. So thank you Bladed. And to those seeking their dream car, I encourage you to continue to figure out what YOU really like while you build your finances. The Elantra N is not what I would have bought 4-3 years ago, but I drove other cars in that time and really pinned down what it was about cars that made ME happy. Happy hunting friends.

[@DarkIllusionsFilmsSD]

Tons of great info here and can absolutely confirm that credit cards is the better way to increase your score. Another tip, let about 2% of your total available credit limit (across all cards) post to your monthly statement before paying it off. Make sure to do this on your card with the highest limit so it doesn't hurt your cards available credit limit percentage. This helps show responsible usage habits but the key is "usage". If your balances always show as 0 every month, it's the same as not using the card so it doesn't help as much. Car loans are very important though if your goal is to ultimately have a dream car. You can't expect to be approved for a 180k car loan when all you've had is a 10k car loan. You have to build up to it by getting a larger and larger car loan each time. This helps show the banks that you can handle it and increases your chances of getting approved.

[@logan9305]

One of the first loans I had was for a phone. Paid it off, applied for a credit card, credit score was like 700. Just used the credit card when money got tightened, paid off the balance when check hit or made a payment. Small loans and stuff like that do help. Credit is still young, but yeah. The small credit usage does help a lot

[@poorlittlebiker6476]

Not to mention credit cards offers rewards. I just got a new card and I use it on things I ‘have’ to buy like fuel and insurances and such. I get points back per every dollar spent and this specific card offers a $750 cash back after X amount of dollars spent.

[@deanchur]

What I do with payments for something I want is tie that thing to an activity that I should be doing to hit a goal so that way it be employed as a reward. For example, if you're looking for a job then your goal might be to apply for 3 jobs a day. Each time you hand out an application, put a dollar in a fund for something you want. When you get a job then you can spend the money. I'm 125 days in (Yes, I journal it) to a goal and I've delayed buying some items I want that cost a few hundred dollars because I want to tie that item to a reward; it trains my brain for delayed gratification and the resultant increase in confidence and character that comes with it.

Pay-in-4 is possibly going to become a very, VERY bad idea in the near future. These "loans" are not currently reported to the credit agencies, but they are looking to change that due to predatory practices. They way they're talking, each P-I-4 will be considered a new opened line of credit, then when it's paid off, it will show as a closed line of credit... and if you know anything about how credit ratings work, this could potentially be disastrous. It still boils down to the age-old adage... if you can't afford it, don't buy it.

i had no choice but to get a new car because my old one got totaled. My parents refused to help me get another used car so I had to get a new one (toyota corolla hatchback) for $29k at around 7-8% APR with a 630 score after that one loan for my old car was paid off. Sucks that it happened but I'm still glad I don't have that pos oil burning pontiac vibe anymore.

Financed my first new car to bump my credit up as I had no debts older than two years. Build credit up by buying one tank of fuel each month and paying off in full for three years.

My dream car has 224 hp and it weighs close to 6000 lbs with me on board + full tank. It's a 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL 320 CDI

I'm on board with getting a newer vehicle. I want a Mazda MXR because lighter and good fuel economy and sporty if I could get it for cheap monthly to the point where even if I were to suddenly get laid off or fired I don't have to worry about not ending up missing paying a subscription that is the same as my phone. There should be 2 options for everyone. "Own nothing and have the privilege of using it and being happy or buying and owning something and having the right to it and being happy". However, there should be a restriction to what you have access to. Base and cheap products should be on the subscription and expensive products should be gatekept to those who can afford to buy them or make high payments. I'll put it in this perspective. A person who received their drivers license that can't afford a newer car that want something reliable should have the option to pay dealerships a subscription that fits within their monthly income that is the lowest trim package with the fewest features that has reliability such as a Base Honda or Toyota sedan. They are on a lease, so to speak, without a limit on how many miles they can drive it as long as they bring it into the dealership and only the dealership to have preventative maintenance done on it. The vehicle can be programmed to alert the driver that they need to bring it to the dealership before it hits a certain mile. Then there are those who can afford to buy the vehicle who should be allowed full ownership as long as they are making payments with no strings attached.

My friend just took out a loan on a new mustang but he had to co-sign on it because his credit was so low. He bought so much stuff on it when he turned 18 and now his credit is in the 300s
