It's almost certainly a Volvo based on his comments but I hope that dumb loving cocksucker is saving up for a kitted up Kia Stinger GT. Even aside from the base idea being beyond stupid, that guy is a Grade A moron considering you can buy a used $50K car for 40% off after like three years.

Here is his 'budget': quote:First, I'm getting rid of my car. The POS is gone when I get something new. I live modestly in everything except in what I want out of my next car. Go ahead and count up all the stuff that isn't included (as a sidenote, he apparently owns his house, so you can factor in all the costs of of home ownership among what he is omitting) The fact that he is so unwilling to actually name the car he wants to get means that hes' 100% sure he would get laughed out of there for paying $51k for it. Also: quote:How long are you financing it for and what will its value be once you've paid it off?

One of our cars was a brand new Volvo SUV and sweet merciful Jesus has depreciation done number on that car. I don't really care because thankfully we can afford it, it's a great car and the premium I paid was probably with the peace of mind (to us) but new cars are DO NEVER BUY from now on as far as I'm concerned.

Then comes the sports car, ATVs, Harley's for some. Lots of leathered-up accountants pissing off their neighbors with obnoxious exhaust notes out there.

I thought Subaru's were the new hotness for safe cars? Volvos are nice and all, but the gas mileage hauling that much extra steel around sours them on me.

Just as a warning, not all people go into muscle-car mode when they reach crisis. A small but significant portion of people just start wearing cardigans and begin constructing model train sets in their basements or spare rooms. Whereas many 'fast car' crisis sufferers overcome their condition in a few years, these people almost always burrow further and further into their craft, destroying their work to rebuild it in ever-more elaborate and larger forms. Without intervention they will eventually be found in a heap of papermache, static flock, and HO scale steam engines.

https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/732fkx/help_a_bride_and_groom_fairly_divvy_wedding_money/ posted:A bride and groom are looking for some third party help figuring out a fair way to divide the gift money to recoup some of the expenses from the wedding. Each has their own bank accounts and spent a good deal of their own money on the wedding. For context, the groom makes twice as much as the bride, and pays the bills (mortgage, city taxes, school taxes, all the utilities, 90% of groceries, etc), and the bride’s income goes toward saving for expensive American medical school. The bride is not from the US, so 80% of the guests were on the groom’s side. One point of contention is the fact that the bride’s family overseas who were unable to attend gave a lot more than those who did attend, and that the money was given for the couple to start their lives together, not to pay for the meals of Americans whose gifts didn’t cover it.
