For some that was the lesson, but the stimulus $ actually caused a ton of people to go wild on spending, hence why GDP is up quite a bit from pre-pandemic.

That said, what you said is the right way to do it - the rub is getting to $2M for most folks. Hard to do if you make less than $100K a year - not impossible by any stretch but hard and will take a long while.

The stimulus sold a lot of cars people would not have bought before.

The big 3 were to blinded to see what was on the other side. Cars lots full of cars that aren't selling..

used car prices are slowly coming down, but it seems a lot of people still want top dollar for their car they can't afford or realize that they now need money because the govt ain't giving it away anymore.
