Was that a short term loan, bad credit, or a short lease? Edit: thinking back, I can't remember if my insurance was $70 twice a month or $110 twice a month back then.

They could actually take the truck into a dealership and tell them they’re selling it and ask if they want to make an offer. I did this on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma (yes it’s always a truck) that I was leasing after comparing offers online from different dealerships. My highest offer was $72 more than my lease buyout amount. When I took it in, the guy inspected it, said we had a deal, and asked if the truck is financed. I told him it was a lease, and he didn’t even bat an eye. Dealerships, unlike regular people, are able to directly pay the lenders and get the pink slip. I was lucky enough that my Tacoma pretty much maintained its value and with the pandemic, used vehicles are in high demand. A very kind person at Toyota Financial told me about this option when I inquired about buying my lease out. Hopefully this helps someone!

Costco for example has averaged around 80-120% every 5 years in growth in stock price since the 80's and has never failed to do so. If you had 50k in cash and put it into Coscto stock in 5 years you'd have 100k dollars and could buy your car cash and then still have the other 50k dollars. And if you put your car payments in there for 5 years your 50k could be like 65-75k dollars, way more than what interest is gonna take from you.

[@christopherwilcox9654]

Obama era fuel regulations got rolled back. Gas is cheap rn. Vehicle safety ratings are only for those people in the car. "I just like to sit up higher". It's unfortunate to see people driving a financed truck 30 mins a day to their office job.

Every time I see some newer pickup truck out on the road, I think about what sticker price must have been. $50, 000 . . . $65,000 . . . $70,000 . . . Yeah, they DO look nice, but man! Then I shudder to think what the monthly payment might be! Scary.

[@jwardTLS]

I wish I could somehow transfer the knowledge I have now at 37 to all the 23 year olds doing this. When I was in my 20s making dogshit 50k I had used cars in the 12k range with loans and my student loans were 200/mo and even with just that 500 or so a month in payments I was losing sleep at night. You can’t make someone understand the anxiety and loss of sleep until they feel the pain themselves....and even then a lot of people carry on day to day trying to deny their weak position in life

[@123hibye]

Sell those cars! Buy used rather than new because as soon as you take it off the lot you lose money!

Every time I think of buying something stupid I just listen to papa Dave. Free therapy lol

[@mplslawnguy3389]

Why can't some of these people just answer a simple question like "how much does your husband make?" lol. He didn't ask if he worked on a tugboat and how many days he was on and off. Just say what he makes, jeez. You know when they answer simple questions like that, there will be some stupid coming our way.

First mistake moving to Louisiana, it’s mega expensive to live there and if your working on a tug boat how do you even qualify for financing for $60,000 in car debt

[@iDrive123]

I'm glad I found Dave Ramsey to yell at me. Now when I want to purchase something on credit, I hear Dave's voice yelling "THAT'S STUPID!"

[@laneblount9888]

I’d buy a truck like that but I’d keep it for 10-15 years and put 300,000 miles on it to make it worth it

[@burntblonde2925]

My 2003 Camry died, my 2004 Honda sounds terrible.....should I buy a new car? Dave’s answer......no, do you have a bicycle? 🤣

[@hermanrogers1325]

Burnt Blonde okay you can raise the dead car and make the other one sound good for a lot less than 65 grand and have the bike too

He bought the expensive pickup to impress his fellow tug boat boys. He will not want to sell it. He would lose face.

What's dummer than a box of rocks is when I was at IKEA and saw an add that said "0% interest for 24 months, after the purchase 21.99% interest PAY AS LOW AS $600 A MONTH!! (In big flashy lettering) I looked at it and thought "wow u must think I'm stupid" XD hahahaha

They are adults and signed the car lease, they are the ones responsible and not the car dealer. Big mistake by Dave for absolving them of their idiotic choices

Trucks should be workhorses not luxury vehicles. And vehicles don’t need all that electronic bs. It just racks the price up
