that game. If you go cheap on cars it can make a massive impact in your financial situation. Saves you (if you drive cars 10 years old or more) on insurance and registration in addition to the car payments obviously.
So many people keep themselves from obtaining wealth by the cars they "have" to have. For example I hear people say we go on road trips I could never drive a car with more than 100k miles on it. Great, if you insist on this line of thought rent a car for 500$ for the week you go on road trip if you can't stomach having a 10+ year old car on the open road.
