I make FAANG salary and I bought my car used for $6k. My previous car I bought used for $7k and drove for 8 years.
Not sure if I’m filtering out ads more (haven’t had a TV for over a decade), or the tech crowd tend to be more logical. But for me personally I just don’t care about what other people think, I tend to focus on utility. But then again I don’t think twice about spending $200 on a really nice meal, so maybe just difference judgement of value.
- Nasrudith 7y agoI think it is a tech social circle thing and a tendency to go within their own constraints and less likely to be swayed into "keeping up with the Joneses" - I recall some rankings that had engineers as one of the least likely occupations to go bankrupt - and that included doctors, lawyers, and accountants.
