Buy a good car and drive it until it drops. He said you will never get ahead if you are always in debt paying for a new car.
I took his advice. I have only owned two new cars in my life, and I’m 62. Right now I drive a 17-year old GMC Sierra with 250,000 miles on it and it’s still going strong. It’s never had any mechanical issues so I’ll drive it until it drops. I retired at 58, own a 50 acre farm paid in full, and have no debt.
“Get a job” I wanted things, so I got a job.
