Today, people own cars that are worth more than they make each year. That is just ridiculous. Honestly, I'm more of a simple man myself and just like my dad, I just want a car that will get me from point A to point B.
But not everyone is like me. I would say for the majority of people you should never spend more than $10,000 to $15,000 on the purchase of a car. You can buy a fantastic used car in this range and below. I like the rule that you should never spend more than 10-20% of your gross annual income on the purchase of a car. So if you earn $50,000 before taxes, then you should not spend more than $5,000 - $10,000 on a car. It might make you “feel” important, but throwing that much of your money towards a depreciating asset is not smart. This goes against everything that you will see being driven on the road, but if you don't want to have a car payment for the rest of your life, then you need to learn how to DRIVE within your means. |
