Oh, sure, I was thinking of a car relatively comfortable parents could get a kid without overspending or spoiling too much, it's not super in reach for a kid working part time.
- bluefirebrand 1y agoEven expecting parents to buy the car for their kid is kinda weird to me really I had to get my own job and save to buy my own first car. It was 2k If it had been 10k it would have taken forever to afford on part time minimum wage My parents definitely did not have a spare 10k laying around to buy me a car. And if a family has more than one child, then what?
- BobaFloutist 1y agoSure, totally. I was perhaps assuming a certain level of affluence from a HN commenter discussing buying a car for their daughter, but it's true that I described a heavily used premium economy car rather than the complete "at-least-it-starts" clunker that represents the actual bottom of the market.
