New car rant

Well I just bought a new 2019 Cherokee. I have a 27 mile 1 way commute 5 days week that ranges from unlit, no line back roads to overcrowded freeways. I also schlep my two young boys around, so modern safety and reliability is necessary, for me. Trust me I didn't want a payment, fortunately my wife's 2015 Journey just got paid off. A lot depends on your lifestyle, income, family, where you live, and who you are.

I do agree though, I see young people (20's) in $50-$70k cars/trucks and ask where do they get their money? Then you see $8k in lifts, $5K with wheels and tires, etc...
