Is car ownership just for low IQ normies now?
>>
>>520339723
Getting loans for things (besides a mortgage for a house) is truly a tax on low IQs. I remember buying a laptop and being asked if I wanted a monthly payment. I did the maths in front of the cashier and asked why I'd want to pay twice the sticker price. She looked at me angrily like I wasn't supposed to work it out.

The funny shit is that in theory, if you could get a bigger return on the cash you temporarily keep would take the loan.

Even getting a mortgage is a scam nowadays. Most people buy the most house they can afford rather than the least house they need. Houses doubled in price (at least) in 5 years, the interest rates are high, and people's incomes haven't risen much at all. The only viable option is to inherit one of your grandparent's house and live in it. Car financing is an obvious scam that idk how people fall for.

It's weird. When I was young, it seemed like some people had a car or didn't. And if they had a car it was usually one per household. But now everybody has a car. Mom, dad, poor people, unemployed people. All mostly financed and many with horrible interest rates.

wrong. to get a biweekly payment you have to multiply by 26, as there are 52 weeks in a year and you are paying for half of them. you cant just do 400 a monthx 12.

so it is
26x200= 5200
5200x30=156000

Defeated by ai

Biweekly” can mean either of two things, depending on context — which causes confusion:
Every two weeks (most common in the U.S.)
Example: You get paid biweekly you receive a paycheck once every two weeks (26 times a year).
Twice a week (less common, but technically correct)
Example: We have biweekly meetings could mean two meetings per week — though most people say “semiweekly” to avoid confusion.
Tip:
For paychecks, “biweekly” almost always means every two weeks.
For scheduling events, clarify by saying “every two weeks” or “twice a week” to avoid misunderstanding.

except you are building equity on an appreciating asset, and there are certain capex exclusions like if ur married.

though if you're good at investing, by all means rent, because your cashflow will be much better and u can invest the extra cash in the markets.

also depends tho on mortgage rates. sometimes you can get a good rate and then the property appreciates at a faster value.

You’re just hoping that property values will continue to moon. You’re really just better off renting and putting the money in an index fund. Unless you have a lot of money and want to diversify. Real estate is a fucking nightmare sometimes, a stock index fund requires no upkeep or thinking.

In the states gov and car manufacturers have been trying to find ways to destroy older cars. There is all sorts of conspiracy about salting roads to destroy undercarriages and gas becoming lower and lower quality. If they made every car have a 5 year life span and it took everyone about 5 years to pay it off you would be stuck in endless payments. Nothing pisses off jews more than driving around in small cities with a truck from 1999.

>>520340316
I think that 90% of the problems with the world economy can be solved by outlawing the borrowing of money from the future.
When you take a loan, there's a contract that says the money's paid back by a certain time in the future.
That contract is so legally protected that people can trade the money before it's been paid back.
It means your mortgage has already funded 5 other mortgages by the time you've paid it all in full, and yours was paid by another mortgage before it was paid back in full.
This practice leverages the premise of future wealth creation, which is also why the "economy needs more workers". It's expected that more workers create more wealth which then pays for the loans that were already traded 50x 10 years ago but are due in 10 years from now.

This one single trick is the key to the Jewish vicegrip on the world economy.
Outlaw it and every single mortgage and loan will default automatically, because the overwhelming majority of financial products leverage money that hasn't been created.
They can't impound everything. They're fucked.

That's basically what banks do with your money. If we stopped all loans, though, that would completely destroy the economy. If there ever comes a day when loans are no more then that's the end of the world as we know it.

He's not going to receive more than five payments before it's time to call the repo man. The reason these insane loans exist is because the ones making them know with 100% certainty the borrower is going to default in a matter of weeks. I sometimes wonder if the borrowers know the score too and are just leveraging their atrocious credit to essentially rent a shitbox (they'll even pick it up for you!) but then I remember they're so certifiably retarded they would probably pull their shoes off to count if you asked them how many toes they have.

They hate paying in cash at the dealership, it throws criminal red flags. They get a kickback on bank loans and usually can't honor the lowest price unless you pay the the $600-700 bank loan fee. You can pay the entire thing off in 3 months. It's usually the path of least resistance. I only lease vehicles through brokers with high residuals so I have to deal with banks because they own it but the interest is pretty low. I try to pay a max of $18k total for $65k vehicle 39 months.

actually i was thinking kind of the same thing, what twice a week??!? but i have to do there kinds of calculations all the time for my work, determining people's yearly salary for various reasons. most paychecks i get to review are 'biweekly' paystubs, and i was just as surprised as probably most regular people are when i was taught that you need to multiply their biweekly gross wages by 26 to caculate their yearly salary off that. by nature most untrained people will assume that if you are getting paid biweekly it happens twice a month, but there are actually more payments per year than just twice a month with anything 'biweekly'.

a useful tip for people who can afford it and are trying to save money, or pay down a loan, is to enroll in some kind of biweekly deposit program, as you will actually save/pay more than if you just make monthly payments/deposits into savings accounts.
>>
>>520340277
>the term biweekly which means both every two weeks and twice a week simultaneously.

You're fucking retarded

bi = 2
biweekly = 2 weekly = every 2 weeks

If you get paid every other Friday you're paid biweekly. With 52 weeks in a year you get 26 checks in a year.

Semi = Half
Semimonthly = Half monthly = every 15 days

If you get paid on the first and the 15th of the month, you're paid semimonthly.

With 12 months in a year you get 24 checks in a year.

If a store is having a biannual sale it means they have it every 2 years. That's weird. That's why you never hear the term biannual sale.

If you hear the term semiannual sale, it means they have it every 6 months. It's why you've heard that term more commonly.
>>
>>520340048
What the fuck are you rambling about, you incoherent tit?

>>520340198
You’re math is a little off, it would be 200 x 26 (52 weeks in a year but biweekly would be 26 payments in a year) x 30 would be a 156,000 but that doesn’t take into account the interest rate. 600k or 156k is irrelevant because that jeep looks like it shouldn’t be more than 6k

>>520340155
>>520342335
For a car dealer, at least here in the States, you are legitimately taking food off their plate when you pay cash instead of getting a loan. And for a salesman that's him specifically since they get paid on commission. They have every reason to be annoyed.

The criminal thing isn't a real complaint though, these are car salesman, they don't care about that as long as they don't get burned.

>Generally I agree with you, but in my case my car is an economic instrument that I get to write off both the interest and the depreciation.

You're conflating 2 different things. You're paying interest to service the loan. That's bad.

You're also getting tax benefits by using the car for work. That's good. But you'd get the benefit of deducting the depreciation even if the car was paid for. If the car was paid for, you wouldn't get the benefit of deducting the interest, but you also wouldn't have to pay interest.

Why are you proud of paying, say, $2,000/year in interest just because you can write it off? You know a write off just deducts that $2,000 from your taxable income right? Assuming you're in a 25% tax bracket, you save $500/year in taxes.

So you're bragging about spending $2,000 to save $500. I don't think you'll be in business very long.

no you just failed to function in life so car ownership seems like a lofty dream, OP. Now you're coping you failed to achieve something any retarded shitskin or white trash can achieve.

Try to do all your daily errands with public transit in any US city for one day and you'll see why people are willing to go into debt for a car.

Warren Buffet famously stated he likes owning his house for its sentimental value, but if money were the only factor, he would have just rented since the extra money he could have had in the market would have more than paid the difference between the 'bottom lines.' The obvious main problem with this line of reasoning as it applies to most people is most people aren't remotely like Warren Buffet.

rich and poor use loans the same way, the only difference is poor people get fleeced with interest and wealthy people don't.
my first car was financed at .09% interest in 2016. I had the money to pay it off outright, but instead parked 22k in an stocks that returned 25% the first year, 22% the second year, etc. over the life of the car loan, I only paid ~$200 in interest but the initial 22k in the market grew to ~60k over the period of the loan.
the average retard today does it differently. they take out a car loan at 55k, not have any money towards it and pay 6.7% interest and only make the bank and dealer money on a depreciating shitbox. my toyota is still worth 60% of the initial purchase price due to market demand and the fact that toyotas hold their market value insanely well.
boomers that just pay cash are just as retarded, they hold it in a bank account that accused next to zero interest on deposits, and just loses a chunk of savings, they lose potential returns on the money, and all they did was gain a depreciating asset. at least there is no loan I guess.
basically always leverage the banks money when it's in your favor, because even if it goes south, like in real estate investing, you can always declare bankruptcy and you don't have to pay it back anyway.

>>520340316
Then they hit you with special mortgage taxes and mandatory insurance. Imagine paying tax for taking out a loan. Everything is predicated on debt math now. People just look at how big a payment they can afford instead of how much they're actually paying.

I only helped my dad buy 2 new floor models and both times it was fine. I don't want to doxx so I wont say the full sized loaded sedan he got for 19k and a base minivan for 23k. Thoes were the days. We lease now and keep the payments under $450 zero down payment.

Still does make things cheaper if it’s for business. Idgaf if the truck is 90k as I’ll 179 it and rock a new one in 2 years anyway. Makes enough money to be worth it.

Car-as-default infrastructure is also car-only infrastructure in pretty much every case.

It's hard to see it as anything other than intentional. Even leaving aside active, intentional conspiracy...is it really an accident that a country obsessed with GDP and profit tends to force everyone into forms of transit that maximize both? Or is it some inexorable force within the system that, conscious or not, enforces its will all the same?

You can make the same argument about virtually any technology. What is first introduced as convenience eventually becomes necessity.
The US and public transport is a unique situation though because of the nigger question.

The problem with consumer lending is that there's no particular reason that the peasant you're lending to should become more productive tomorrow than he is today because of the money you lent him. When peasants take loans it's to pay for things that are basic necessities, not things which create additional productivity, so the future value represented by the currency has nowhere to come from except the assets of the peasant, however few those are. In ancient Mesopotamia, lenders would lend survival rations to farmers with their land as collateral. When they inevitably couldn't pay it back; because they were dipping below baseline when they took the loan and are still living hand to mouth after; this immediately plunged them into serfdom and slavery when the lender would either seize the land, charge a percentage of their crop produce, or both. Note that owning the land someone else works and taking a percentage of their produce is exactly a feudal renting arrangement, just with slightly different justifications. This was so bad at the time that the rulers had to declare debt jubilees frequently to save the peasants from serfdom. Consumer lending is very very difficult to make non-predatory.

Business lending makes sense because when you lend a business money to invest in new assets, those new assets can in theory increase productivity, ripping new value from the void and providing the value to pay the loan back with, plus keep the business in the black.

Double-entry lending is also ludicrous and as Werner lays out puts money creation in the hand of private banks instead of the hands of the government, where it belongs.

Compound interest has always been the great normie filter. The vast majority of people should only ever be taking out a big loan to buy a house, and that is only after securing a high credit score and substantial enough down payment to get the best rate. If you know someone that's obsessed with cars (and isn't actually rich) you know they are a fucking retard. When I was saving for a house living in a cheap apartment, another tenant had a BMW and a dirtbike. Bro was living in a 500 sqft apartment with 2 vehicle payments.

>>520344451
Yeah, it's rough out here, I see slaves everywhere, whether it's to student debt, or car loans. For me it's a loan on a truck, not the worst, but God damn do I miss those 1k a month flying out of my pockets.

It's legitimately getting better
Other than the house and now car, those are the only things I have a loan on.
I can say my upbringing has led to not falling into traps and expectations it seems so many zoomers make themselves miserable and broke over
If I could make 80k a year (50k currently) I would legitimately be in good shape

That's not ownership though, that's renting.
>>
>>520351322
It's not of the same character. These people aren't getting high-end cars by and large, just barely serviceable beaters. And car ownership is fundamental to American life. Even if you're living with your parents you still need your own car to go anywhere or do anything.

I don't have a car but that's not by choice. Cars gives you so much freedom to explore if you prefer spending time outdoors and not in heckin walkable cities.

I have a lot of options for hiking accessible by public transit, but most of the routes just aren't challenging enough for me. And the solution is not to build transit to all the other parks. Too much accessibility leads to overuse and is an ecological nightmare and also just kills the vibe.

You have people who are really struggling for whatever reason getting really jacked rates on shitty vehicles and then you also have the people who are doing ok getting much more expensive vehicles than necessary.
