When I was young a new car loan was three years. Then it became four years. Now it is five or six years.

What's wrong with this picture ?

I don't know. You can buy an American-made Ford Focus for under $10,000.

Financing options have become more liberal now. Twenty years ago you couldn't find a lender willing to give such flexibility to people who wanted to "max-out" their luxuries by paying over time.

I'd say your problem is you.

Back then the American cars were so poorly made that you were lucky if they lasted 3 years.

When I was young, a typical home's price was generally less than twice a man's salary. Now the typical home is three times a man and woman's typical salaries combined.

What is wrong with that picture?
