Haven't had a car payment in 20 years.
Talked to JC Conner at the Mansfield NTA in 1995 and he told me " I don't owe no man nothing" and that seemed like a good way to live so it's been my goal.
Everyone owes, lol. Taxes are their for life and death!

Bought brand new vehicles almost all my life-only payment I ever made was to myself.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Unless you have $$ or someone gave you $$...you ain't never gonna have nuthin worth a crap unless you're in debt. You are joking, right...? Nope no joke. You either had money to start out with, if not you lived on someone else until you saved $$ or someone gave you money...you were an heir. Or maybe you won the lottery. Debt is how most of got started and for a poor man debt is how you get started... I guess you could be living in a shack and driving that truck you bought in 1970. Btw...my home is paid for. Still have 1 vehicle payment...bought a new 2016 Tundra 4x4...and my Honda 700 side by side. Other than that utilities. But I'm pushing 56 years old. Family dont have no $$ so no heir here. Everything I have I worked and paid for...mostly monthly....raised 2 kids that are grown now....pay check to pay check...got 3 or 4 more years and I'm retired....will have 30 years service and a decent pension...but I had no nest egg or help when i started a family at 20 years old....did thanks to loans. Got good credit, low interest rates.

I started working young and I lived in the bush,in a cabin in winter and worked as a forman on the RR extra gangs in summer where board was provided and money was great.I was single and banked almost every cent I earned for a few years,after that it was easy going,never looked back and never had debt,except for a mortgage for 11 years when I bought the house when the kids started school in town. I had a great downpayment (over half)and the mortgage payments were low and short term.Still had plenty of money to put away. Also made a lot of money off fur back in the day. I always made way more money than I ever needed to live,and I live pretty good.Never did without anything all my life. Its called work ethic.

Everything I have I have worked for since I was a kid.No free rides here..Learned early on that if you wanted something you worked for it.

I didnt have a wife that would live in the "bush" when I first got married...to the first wife. I'm on #2 now... and even though she grew up in the swamps of south Ga she dont want to live in one now....I would but not her.
I've also never rented a home. Bought my first, second, and last home...you guessed it....by mortgage...ie. monthly debt. A man's got to live somewhere when he's "working for everything he's got."
Also got to have a dependable vehicle to get to that job while "working for everything." Again...debt..

I buy a new truck every 10-12 years. Never payed more than $400 a month, but always put down a substantial down payment and always buy plain jane trucks. What I can't understand is why people buy $70,000+ vehicles. Lol, I think 30,000 is rudiculous for a truck.
No Jab.
