Accountant Explains: How To Afford Your Dream Car

[@Navyblue0785]

My dream car: any manual porsche 911 from 1985-1999 or 2007-2013, my beater is any manual car that can take me from point a to point b. My intermediate was a 2007 lexus is 250 which i ended up going for. Unfortunately, it ended up being a lemon that lasted me 3 months.

You have excellent advice. I am in my 60s and am withoutdebt/financially free. Could buy anything I want at this point which is the new Corvette coming out with with 800 hp. but instead, I bought a new Highlander last year and love it. It’s a platinum hybrid edition. I have been retired since 2010 and like to see my money make money more than I want the Corvette. Keep up the good work. You’re absolutely right that is what I’ve done over the years.

[@jdubb200]

So what you're saying is you're never getting the Corvette?

[@Jeslmcg]

No, I’m not saying that. Just not for a while until my money makes enough money to pay for it.

💎 beater car is probably a 2012 camry,2010 civic intermediate vehicle would be a 2016 ,15,16,19 nissan 370z, then my dream vehicle would be a 2015 or 2016 Gtr or 2017,2018,2015 mustang gt or shelby

Reliable beaters. 04-09 Toyota Prius. 99-2010 ford crown Vic or mercury grand marquis. 2000-2005 Buick le Sabre or park avenue. Not 100% sure on the years, but around 2006-2010 Buick Lucerne

[@TommyBryson]

I had an o9 prius wouldn't recommend, those cars are great but maintence is expensive because of special parts

[@spillybuilt7491]

@@TommyBryson idk man, I do my own work, that saves so much money and time. I’ve had 2 and both have had minimal issues and had over 225k miles. I still have the second one. Has 232k and going

Bro this video just saved me from buying a Mercedes E63 AMG. I definitely don’t need to be focused on buying that car.

[@TheErik1119]

Thx for the advice bro

[@ebonysutton2117]

Good Advice, I’ve watched a lot of Dave Ramsey episodes. To my knowledge he is not telling people to actually buy a car that is half your income. He states that the car you buy should not exceed more than half of your annual income. I’m sure he would approve you going as low as you can but still buy a reliable car. Which I think is always better. But great info for sure !

[@TommyBryson]

Exactly

[@davidsarpong6698]

To be honest Tommy, i just want a white 4x4 suv that can do the job

[@Podified-]

Make a vid about becoming an accountant

[@akilking5821]

In my county it’s super expensive

[@TewBeautiful]

my dream car is 110k..

[@TommyBryson]

You need a networth of 1.1m to make that make sense 😎 I had cars like that I wanted and on the way to invest, savings and all that stuff. My dreams changed. From Urus, to Cayenns to Rav4 to finally a corolla. You learn that wanted an expensive car is like wanting an expensive microwave, it's just a tool. Just get one that does the job

[@bluequadrifoglio6057]

Cmon man, could have picked a better thumbnail, nobody wants a trash EV and they're not even that expensive.

[@creeperstkoed6282]

So I'm gonna skip over the beater car part because I already have a car that i would consider a (mostly) reliable beater, I have a 2008 Ford Taurus SEL its compeltely paid off ($5,500 before interest) and its got just shy of 149,000 miles on it and its got some minor issues (TPMS and a wheel speed sensor needs replaced which I tried to do myself only for the bolt to snap in the knuckle 🫠 so I'm taking it to a shop to get that removed) my main issue is I'm not putting enough money back into savings or investments, im very much living paycheck to paycheck, thiugh honestly its because I need to stop getting food at the local gas station when im at work and make stuff at home to take into work, I just need to learn how to cook then I'll be golden. Anywho, my dream casual car would be a Tesla Model Y long range with FSD. My dream fun car would be a Honda Del Sol, I can't afford either, though, so here I am 🙃
