A 5000$ bottle of champagne is within reach for me but that doesn't mean it's a good decision. A car would be even worse than that.

  Trade offs. Everyone has a different situation, but for most people in the world $5000 in a car would enable so many different things they can do that it is worth it (or would be worth it if they could find that $5000 in the first place - for many if they had a car they could earn more than $5000 to pay for it, but lacking the $5000 to get the car in the first place they can't earn enough to buy it)

    In what world does owning a car earn you 5000$ per year? A car is literally just an expense
    • bluGill 3y ago
      In any world where you use a car to get to work.

        Using transit to get to work will save you thousands of dollars spent on a car
        • bluGill 3y ago
          Maybe. If there is transit, but most places don't have good transit options. Not just the us either.

            Wrong. Most people don't have cars and can get to work just fine. Yes, even in the US.
