I decided to buy a brand new car after my truck got totaled by a dumb 16 yr old. I bought a 2019 honda hrv which is an amazing car but I seriously cant bring myself to justify making the payments. Im 23 and make 80k a year and have no debts and honestly dont want any debts. I bought this car for $22,000 2 months ago. I can comfotably make the payments but I just dont want to anymore and having full coverage insurance is kind of a pain. Seriously how are people okay with paying so much for transportation?! I decided to buy a beater car off craigslist for $1600 a 2003 dodge neon with 65k miles thats CLEAN and was probably driven by an old lady for most of its life because its in absolute perfect condition. This week im selling my car to carmax for 18,500 and i already paid down the loan to that amount. It sucks that I sunk so much money into this but I think its better than having to spend 18,500 and having to be stuck with a car payment. Im also scared of losing my job or getting sick and having the burden of the payments. Am I crazy for thinking this way. Anyone else go through this?
