How People (Rich vs. Poor) Spend Money

Quote:Hypothetically, they're already paying high maintenance cost on the current vehicle.


You understand I'm not advocating that anyone buy a car in addition to the one they have right? Like I said, there is no inherent difference in value between either type of vehicle.


If you have a $1000 gas guzzler, go get a $1000 gas saver. If you have a $5000 gas guzzler, go get yourself a $5000 gas saver. Could someone be in a situation where that's not feasible? Sure. But we're talking about a group of people that are spending 16.6% percent of their income on restaurants. Let's not act like this is an impossible situation for the group as a whole that's being discussed.
 

That has a lot to do with the problem.

 

I don't want to be real judgmental here, but it has to be said.  If you're driving around in a $1000 car or even a $5000 car, you probably shouldn't be spending so much money eating out.  Getting back to your point though, show me an affordable $5000 car that gets great gas mileage.  Explain how somebody on the lower end of the pay scale would be able to pay for this.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
