The most outlandish display of overconsumption in the world today is hands down CARS. A huge % of people are under-saving in large part because of what’s in the garage.

We’re all about nice shit, but only if you can afford it.

Dare to be different & do some basic napkin math.

I got the zubaz part. Working on the napkin math.

100,000mi on odometer = $10,000 vehicle today... probably more.

It's ridiculous. Inflation is a bitch.

You'll see me whipping some shoebarus 🏃

No need I here the same argument in my head 🫡

It’s a depreciating asset as well!! You will never get your money back…

Totally agree

I spent 8 years paying for my first (new) car. I bought it nearly 25 years ago. I still use it a few times a week to this day, so the mileage I've accumulated divided by the cost in early 90s dollars has been a great value me.

Some people would have gone through 8, 9, 10 cars over that time, which seems insane to me.
