lol, that's what a cheaper apartment used to cost in the 00's:

Monthly car payments hit record high of $712 in May

Average monthly car payments hit a record high in May while the cost of new vehicles continues to rise, according to industry insiders.

A report from Moody's Analytics found that typical monthly car payments hit a record high of $712 in May. Kelley Blue Book data found that new vehicle prices averaged $47,148 in May, the second highest on record.

Vehicle affordability worsened again because of higher interest rates and increased car prices, according to a recent Cox Automotive & Moody's Analytics vehicle affordability index report. The report said "the estimated typical monthly payment increased 1.7% to $712," which is a new record high for monthly payments.

It would cost 41.3 weeks of median income to buy a new vehicle, which is a jump of 19% from May of 2021, according to the report.

Brian Moody, executive editor for Kelley Blue Book, told ABC News that a low supply of cars and high demand from buyers means consumers "are going to be paying more" than the MSRP. Data from Kelley Blue Book suggests non-luxury car buyers paid on average $1,030 more than the sticker price.

For luxury cars, where experts say there is a lot of demand, buyers are paying an average of $65,379 for a new vehicle, about $1,071 above sticker price, according to Kelley Blue Book data.

But Moody said customers can still get good deals on less sought-after brands like Mazda, Hyundai and Buick.

it was like 2 years ago everyone's stock accounts were massive and prices were tiny. that didn't seem real either. one had to shift. but not both. now nobody can spend anything unless they pulled out of the market at the perfect time.

this is gonna cause massive STAGFLATION.

I'm very against credit cards, installment loans for big purchases, and buy and buy now pay later -- which all allow proles to buy shit they can't afford.

But at the same time, I think it's good to give proles access to things like payday loans so they have somewhere legal to go if they need a $200-300 loan for 2 weeks to pay their electricity bill or rent -- and have stable income.

IMHO, the former is usery and the latter is OK -- even though the APRs on the former are 10-30% and the APR on he latter is like 1200%.

It's retarded that the law and regulators tend to focus on APR so much. It's really absurd and shows are disconnected. They are from reality.

But when we are apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

Hey, yeah!

Baby I don't understand

Just why we can't be lovers

Things are getting out of hand

Tryin' too much but baby we can win

Let it go

If you want me, girl, let me know

I am down on my knees

I can't take it anymore

It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you

But when we are apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

Oh, all right

Baby don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand

What I'm trying to tell ya

In the corner of my mind, corner of my mind

Baby it feels like we're running out of time

Let it go

If you want me, girl, let me know

I am down on my knees

I can't take it anymore

It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you

But when we are apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

Tearin' up my heart and soul

We're apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

Tearin' up my heart and soul, all right

We're apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you

So when we are apart, I feel it too

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

And no matter what I do, I feel the pain

With or without you

I was in biglaw for a long time and had lots of friends who were senior associates/junior partners. I was debt free from law school and have family money, they did not. Not a single one owned a home or car, whereas I had both. And this was people earning $500-1.5MM per year. The junior partners didn’t even buy homes until they made equity partner.

Realistically, the elites have made little effort to hide that they think cars should be luxuries unaffordable for most, who should be herded into urban areas to live in shoebox apartments. These sheeple only need public transportation.
