trevorreznik posted:That's one of the greatest vehicles ever made and I'm still pissed mine got wrecked. A neighbor has one in the same color and it makes me sad to go by it. 95% of the parts are Toyota but it was sold at Pontiac prices, was basically just a corolla hatchback that could fit my bicycle inside it with the back seats down + had rails on top for a kayak, got 30+ mpg. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Toyota-Matrix-d300 ~$7k what a steal!!

Those mid '00s used car prices are sending me spiraling. I gotta hang onto this '99 rust free camry we have for my kid when he can drive in another decade, because by then it'll somehow be worth $30k.

Maed posted:growing up my dad would just buy a $500 car once a year from a buy here pay here since they'd never pass the next inspection and he couldn't afford anything else, that's $1000 today with inflation but still way cheaper than the 6 or 7 times more expensive lovely beater cars today. soon poor people will have to just walk everywhere again since public transit is getting shittier and even the worst cars are unaffordable, I guess that's one way to solve traffic You wanted the end of car culture, this is how America phases-out private car ownership for the masses

Nothus posted:You wanted the end of car culture, this is how America phases-out private car ownership for the masses that's the thing though, we aren't. Everyone's still going to have to own a car. You're just going to end up paying 105% of your monthly income on your car and housing and your kids will inherit the debt when you die.

The average new car payment is ~$725 a month and public transit / car-free options are worse now than they were twenty years ago. The majority of Americans consider living without a car to be utterly unthinkable, something only the poorest of the poor do, and they certainly aren't poor so they'll keep paying 30% of their net income on their car.

Thoguh posted:Don’t worry, if your employer chooses to offer it as a benefit you can divert up to $5,000/year in to a tax advantaged savings account to pay childcare expenses. But you have to make the decision to find that account during benefits selection the prior year and if your circumstances change in the 15 months after that we’ll too bad, you should have known last September! Also you have to spend that entire amount of money during the year you put it aside or too bad, it’s forfeit. Dependent care FSAs are such an enormous pain in the rear end. Be prepared to have your receipts go through 2-3 rounds of revisions because the FSA administrator, who gets to keep to all undistributed funds that are still in the account by the end of the reporting period, has found some supposed defect that prevents you from getting your own money back. FSAs are generally poison. It makes me so mad that people on the center and right portions of our political spectrum think they're a realistic solution to our healthcare cost woes. Also, $5000 is a lot for some families. Having to put it behind some kind of screen before you can get to it for what might be minimal tax savings may be more pain than it's worth.

Get your housing in rezoned business districts where corporate office buildings have been converted into large apartment towers. Room with 8 other people to keep expenses under control and scrimp and save.

Gotta pay your 1500 per person rent in your sharehouse, get into your GM MRAP Thin Blue Line Edition (the cheapest on the lot) that you pay 1200 a month for, and go drop off your kid at daycare and pay the 1800 a month in kid rent.
