It's the great American Plan.Debt free that is. I know that I'm trying to get there.Other than a car payment as my last car getting ready to fall apart, I had to get a new one,and my house payment I'm up to date on ALL of my bills

Well if you are current on your bills I imagine you are in the minority in this age of spend all you make and then some...
This is what I do.... when I need a New car because the old one is falling apart, I buy a new old one cash and then there is no payment book to have to look at :)

Pay em off driver and don't get em back....
Get away from the car payments, they are evil and mess up your cash flow

30,000 dollar car depreciates 100 dollars per week for the first 4 years you own it.

payment 500 per month
depreciation 400 per month
xtra insurance costs 50-100 per month

That car costs you 1000 or so per month to drive

I don't buy new cars and I don't finance so to me there are no good deals on new cars, but I am weird

The number 1 problem in America today is ...

People buying things they don't need...
With money they don't have...
To impress people they don't even know...
