In reply to krantcents. Jeff, Great piece. I love the simple formula question: Are you spending more on your car payment than you are saving/ The answer for most folks is the wrong one!

In reply to kathy. @ Kathy Anything "could collapse". That's an inherent risk in anything you invest into.

Your story has one problem , you forget you are pouring your money into sometime that could collapse and leave you with nothign that is not a good gamble ,place your money in a trust fund or cdl, not the stock market which is already showing signs of loss for millions and at a great rate

So many good arguments towards saving for the future! We just bought a 2003 Odyssey with semi low miles and paid CASH! You’re making me think more about investing what we could be paying past my Hubby’s 401K

Wonderful article. Auto debt is just an excepted fact of life for too many people.

We need to get to more college students to help get them on the right foot. Maybe it needs to be in high school.

Thank you for sharing your story and thanks to your “Nanny.”

Great story – I am currently still driving the car my parents gave me as a teenager. It’s got 250,000 miles on it and is 14 years old. Rock on!

I am still driving my “mommy van” that is a 2003 with over140,000 miles!! No car payments and although I would like a more stylish vehicle, not having a car payment is more important. I am still trying to payoff some credit card debt, but can’t wait until I am debt-free!!!

I love this article and whole heartedly agree that car payments should be avoided. I did, however, have a hard time understanding some of the article due to what I’m guessing is a lack of proofreading. I don’t want to be THAT person and I have no intention of being a grammar nazi, but I’d enjoy your blog much more if it were easier to read. Still, I don’t give up that easily 🙂
