Yea, no advice will be taken.
I worked with a guy that said he "needed" a new car as his current car was up to almost 100,000 miles. He had not yet paid it off. The ONLY criteria for his next car was the monthly payments. He did not care what it was, only that monthly payment mattered. He ended up with an 84 month loan on some econobox.
He had a huge collection of Beatles memorabilia. He spent all his available money on more Beatles junk. I told him to sell it all, and pay off his car, then his house. I may as have well told him to sprout wings and fly.
I pointed to my El Camino that had over 200,000 miles on it at the time. He only said I was "lucky" because I could work on my own cars. I replied luck had nothing to do with it, just maintenance and keeping it in good shape. His car was almost never washed and he put off all maintenance.
