Elected Democrats and other critics call out the Trump administration for refusing to use contingency funding to pay for food stamps during the US government shutdown.
I drive 35 to 40k miles a year for my job. I only get new because I’d rather pay and have a driving car than pay and have one in the shop for the same price.
My car was 40 and full electric so I don’t have to buy gas and my fiance’s car was 25k. Those two car payments and and insurance we pay around 1500 a month.
But it’s not the cars that’s a problem. I choose that luxury. Be it for practicality or showing off. What I don’t choose is to live ina 600 squarefoot Apartment for a thousand dollars more than it should be. Or daycare for 250 a WEEK!
Even if I lowered the price of the card for 500 a month, 800 a months it wouldn’t help.
How on earth is your car payment 1500??
I’m betting it’s two car payments because two busy people can’t survive without their own car in the US.
Even with a car payment being $750/month, that’s a pretty fancy car from my perspective - and represents the average car payment for a new car.
I think that these folks could keep up with expenses much more easily if a few minor compromises were made (namely, a cheaper car).
