I will just stick with my 10 year old Toyota and keeping it for the next 20 years, thanks.

I love how people say, “I can afford the payment.” It’s not about the payment, to me. It’s about the total cost of the car. Great video!

Dealerships don't sell cars, they sell loans, extended warranties, and service packages.

The car isn't the problem. Insurance is the problem.

It’s starting to also become how much gas can I afford when buying a vehicle.

It’s not about self esteem or image for some people. I LOVE cars. My main hobby is working on my cars, and my friends’ cars, and my neighbors’ cars. I don’t eat out much. My clothes are very affordable and simple. I’m not into big vacations. I’m happy to spend extra on my cars.

Buy a 5k Toyota cash. F these car dealers.

I’m still amazed at how upside down ppl are when they purchase cars. Low credit scores, lower income but they are still trying to finance mid to high tier luxury autos.

I really wish that the school system would teach basic economiss and BUDGETING. I cant believe how little most adults know about budgeting and the difference between want and need. Glad that you are teaching this stuff.

Still driving my 2004 Honda Accord almost 280K miles

Love the call out on all of the "my car is my whole personality" people 😂

I always buy used even if I can afford new and drive it until the wheels fall off. It's simply point A to point B for me.

My 2006 Corolla still driving just fine. Going to drive that till the wheels literally fall off…then I will buy some new wheels. 😂

Brian you are truly the ONLY one giving out practical financial advice here. Every person's financial situation is different, their priorities and preferences are different, it's crazy to hear about all these other youtubers giving out cookie cutter plans.

[maartendejong]

It‘s not how much car can I afford, it’s how many shitboxes can fit in my driveway!!

[cuttru]

Buy a 3 year old car after which depreciation slows down

[nealp]

The problem is I’m a car enthusiast and I tend to like the more expensive ones but not all of them are.

[pawelek]

I told myself I would never finance the car. It was the best lifetime decision.
