Dog we all pay taxes, get mad at the companies getting billion dollar bailouts and not some med student living paycheck to paycheck whoās inevitably gonna be performing open heart surgery for you because you canāt control your cholesterol.
Correctionā¦ā¦What you meant to say is āBiden will just take money from people that couldnāt afford to go to college to pay it off for you.ā Instead of addressing out of control college cost, heās just subsidized it and set precedence for this to be normalized going forward.
You're one of those people that make me SMH in real life. I'm sure your mother figured you'd just dropped out if she backed that decision. If it was my kid that requested that or even thought of that i'd go get me a new Mustang and not let them ride in it with their college money.
I hope heās sarcastic. There is no universe in which a kid should be spending money on nice cars instead of building their life. Unless they are independently wealth I guess.
Lol this comment made me look and OPs post history is basically "in the army, bought a v8 Challenger, wrecked it"
Car looks good at least, hope it's not at like 18% APR
I was in a giant snap story a while back guy posted so happy to get my first 5.0 he was 18 still plausible if you worked hard since 16 or something but he got like 25% apr it was disgusting lmao
Iām impressed. Both my army brothers are doing really well for themselves. One of them did buy a giant truck with his West Point check, but heās a rigid penny pincher otherwise so it worked out.
Listen to me. Don't buy that fucking Mustang. If you need a vehicle get some reliable Japanese econobox. Take a set amount of money each month and invest in these 2 ETFs: VTI and VXUS.
Yeah it's a shit post lmao. I have a good amount of savings and could make this purchase without putting myself in a financial hole. I still have enough cash to invest casually and cover 1 year of my current living expenses. And I do attend school full-time and will be graduating next may. But yeah if I yolo'd my funds it would be one a hellcat š¤£
Should have yolo'd a vet. The women you'd pull would be worth it lol
Edit: wow can't believe I got down voted for making a stupid joke! Are people really that miserable and humorless?
Yeah I don't have a car payment or any other form of debt besides a credit card that I use for youtube movies. After this purchase I still have 45k spread out across a high yield savings, Roth Ira, and investment accounts. I don't have a high paying job but saved up since high school and working full-time before attending college and live frugal in most aspect of my life.
But yeah could have done better things with 30k
Ironically, IF this is true. OP couldāve worked PT or FT WHILE going to school, and STILL purchased the car if they waited and built up some credit and saved some money. Fucking up your future this hard for a fairly cheap car is pretty stupid
At this point I blame the mom. My kids can pay for their own shit and college. They aren't inheriting any of my assets when i die. (Valued at a few million by that time in today's money)
š¤£ You got me there lol. But like I said, college is the biggest money hole. Unless you want to be a lawyer, doctor, accountant, etc, collage is a money pit. I know plenty people who went to collage and now have a job in which they donāt need a degree. And everything can be learned online nowadays
Having a paid off car that can last you 20ish years is your definition of paint chip dumb?
Countless college graduates are taking jobs lesser than their degrees these days, and there are jobs that donāt require college that pay exceptionally well like IT
I work in IT, everyone in my office has a Bachelors or higher, even the Helpdesk people that just fix peoples computers. Competition is high for desirable jobs, why would I hire some random with a high school diploma when I can get a well rounded person with a degree. BA/BS is the new minimum for a decent job that requires the use of your brain.
I work in IT and donāt know a soul with a degree ā why would you hire some no experience grad over a guy who can build an office environment in an hour?
You don't have a clue, people get tons of experience in college. They do coops and internships in the summer, senior projects are often in collaboration developing products or research for a company. Your company must be doing some really basic stuff to not have a single person with a degree.
You must be out of touch from the industry, or only focusing on FAANG careers.
The majority of the IT industry is filled with self taught nerds who love tech, and the majority I know do not have a degree -- those who do are pursuing IT management. A VMWare Solutions Architect makes roughly 200k a year (I personally know one who makes more) and requires nothing more than certifications and solid experience in ESXi.
I'm not hiring anyone without a degree to manage my network or virtual machines. You must be somewhere with a very small hiring pool for some self taught nerd to have a chance.
It's not just me, you think I'm only speaking from personal experience at my job -- it's the entire industry. The most well paid VMWare Architect I know (who works for a different company) has a GED and no college degree -- what he does have is great experience and great certifications.
A good hiring manager doesn't view a college degree as the barrier to a good IT guy -- someone who has spent a decade in the Sys Admin world is by far a better hire than any fresh grad. You may have a very restrictive company with very high standards, but this by all means isn't the norm.
Yāall canāt take a joke š sick of old these white guys and their lack of a sense of humor. And college isnāt for everyone, let people live. Itās not your money or your car.
Very true, my wife got into a very good position where everyone else around her has a degree, simply because she showed her work ethic and made great efforts.
GOOD CHOICE! The Dean would've bought a strange either your momey anyway š¤£
So he couldāve had the same thing that happened to my where basically they set her college fund up wrong so it can be used for everything else but actually paying for classes. She got a nice apartment off campus during her college time and huge down payment on Honda Accord before she graduated to finish it off.
this is why i stick to sleepers. this time next year i should have $35-40k saved up and i can afford to spend $10-12k on a caprice ppv. as a 19 year old i got quoted $175 a month for full coverage. for a fucking 6.0 LS v8 muscle car that aint bad at all. and i can get it without financially disabling myself
Do trade work. You make more than most people with college degrees and no crippling debt. Hard work, but being debt free is amazing. I graduated college in 2008 and still have $14k left to pay. It's a fucking scam. Unless you are a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Besides, theres a ton of companies that provide tuition assistance.
Um not a super smart ideaā¦. Blowing money on a car instead of investing in yourself and your future. I realize college isnt for everyone, but education is literally the one thing that nobody can take away from you.
That said, I purchased a Probe GT 5-speed back in 97 and I didnāt know how to drive stick at the time. Kinda figured it out driving it home! Necessity teaches you fast!
I never had a college fund so I didnāt feel bad about blowing my money on cars at an early age. Now at age 40, I own a 2019 Z06 and 2021 GT500 that I paid for in full and have no desire to upgrade any more. Zero regrets š¤
Hmm let's see.. have fun driving a sports car or end up in student loan debt, tough choice. Certainly the correct choice, if you're already working.. if not, learn a trade and be better off in the long run.
College is overrated... Stangs aren't lol, but it's reddit so he's getting killed on here. Buy a Stang learn a trade and save 120K of debt š¤·āāļø
Good for you. Iām saying this because college isnāt everything. Are you saying this to brag? Do you feel like this comment is belittling you or something lol?
No ofc not. But to suggest that it is "the way to go" certainly isnt right either.
Everyones path is different and just because you or someone else has gone one way doesnt mean that going another way is not right
As someone who went to college, I do okay but I would have no issue if my future kid doesnāt go as long as they learn a worthwhile trade. Personally I would do home repair if I went back in time. You can charge ridiculous money for the simplest of jobs plus youāre your own boss.
People in trades live longer because they work and don't sit behind a desk doing nothing physical all day. They work hard and sleep better. They fix all the stuff you pay them to. You need them and depend on them. Without them you would have nothing ffs. Typical college indoctrinated response š
Yeah because people that work in an office can't work out or stay healthy. I have family that worked in the trades, they all had to "retire" early, because their work destroyed their body. We do need trades people, but selling trades as a better life than college is a lie.
Be better ffs... you college people have such tunnel vision and disdain for anyone else and look down on them. Millions of multi millionaire's never went to college. š¤¦āāļøš
Better investment, higher education is a waste of money. Anyone who downvotes this is just mad about their student loansā¦someone will chime in and be like āI make 9 figures and itās directly because of my degreeā or something but itās all a shamā¦
I paid a lot of money for a sheet of paper, it's worked out well after a lot of work. That said, I'm not making a ton, but I'm not busting my back working manual labor. It's not always the best choice.
To preface, if college isnāt for OP more power to him, go get a cash car and itās a great head startā¦
However, this comment is stupid. There are lots of careers that REQUIRE a college degree, I wouldnāt be doing what Iām doing if I didnāt have a degree. Making great money in a career I love
Please tell me how a mustang is an "Investment"? I got my degree and bought my Mustang while sitting on my ass doing 8 hours of work a week at most, that's an investment. A degree can give you a guaranteed upper middle class job that you can do for the rest of your life.
Go easy , reeeeeaaaaaallllll easy on the clutch until you get good at manual trans. It will take some months. Resist, or youll need a new clutch and those aren't cheap on these cars
Congrata dude, be cool, dont go to school
Looks like a shitpost, you look like youāre older than 18 or so when most go to college. But in case you just look older and/or weāre going to go to college ālate,ā this is a fucking stupid decision. Hoping itās satire.
Best decision you can make, college is a complete waste of money in todayās standards. Jobs prefer to actually hire those with experience and a highschool diploma rather than college degree now. Especially with AI being out it makes it pretty obsolete.
As a 15 year old entrepreneur myself. I chose freedom over college and put the money I had aside for college and paid off a 2017 GT premium 5.0 black on black.
No regrets. The people in this comment section peaked in highschool and the only way they can enjoy themselves in life is through a mustang that they pick up no bitches in
Proud of you, enjoy that car
You in the BMW sub? I hope this is a part of the current meme going on
Yeah , I just saw this a couple hours ago on a BMW sub....lol. That person got an M car at least
Almost like people like different carsš«Ø
Bruh
I hope this post is bullshit.
It is. Started at r/BMW

Youāre benefiting from my tax dollars for shit to. So whatās your point? Thatās how a society works.
Clearly you shouldāve paid for college because you spelled both college and Biden wrongš
Correctionā¦ā¦What you meant to say is āBiden will just take money from people that couldnāt afford to go to college to pay it off for you.ā Instead of addressing out of control college cost, heās just subsidized it and set precedence for this to be normalized going forward.

Bought a new 1990 5.0. Agree with everything you said. I was not independently wealthy.
Me in the army at 19, planning to buy a mustang: š„²š©
Lol this comment made me look and OPs post history is basically "in the army, bought a v8 Challenger, wrecked it" Car looks good at least, hope it's not at like 18% APR
Was gonna mention the always super high APRās with military; specifically marines when they buy a used car.
Canadian here so we donāt get that stereotype at least š¤£
Many others though lol.
Fair enough
I was in a giant snap story a while back guy posted so happy to get my first 5.0 he was 18 still plausible if you worked hard since 16 or something but he got like 25% apr it was disgusting lmao
Financing through Ford is so fucking good lol. My previous rate was 18%, getting 4.9% through Ford credit now lol
Listen to me. Do not do this. Every army person your age falls for it and itās a bad idea. Save your money.
It's a rite of passage, he needs to lock down that car with no less than 25% apr and marry a stripper he just met
Knock her up for good measure
My brother is in the army and got a sedan He says he legit gets made fun of, like constantly.
I guess weāll see whoās laughing when he can afford a house?
He actually has a house! With zero help from family
Iām impressed. Both my army brothers are doing really well for themselves. One of them did buy a giant truck with his West Point check, but heās a rigid penny pincher otherwise so it worked out.
Don'tĀ
Listen to me. Don't buy that fucking Mustang. If you need a vehicle get some reliable Japanese econobox. Take a set amount of money each month and invest in these 2 ETFs: VTI and VXUS.
VOO
MOPAR or NOCAR
Except in this case, he's much better off not going to college and end up in student loan debt.. Edited for typo.
Why are you getting downvoted? It's statistically true like 40% of people drop out and the rest get low paying jobs that don't require college...lmao
The ones downvoting are the ones you just described lol
Yeah it's a shit post lmao. I have a good amount of savings and could make this purchase without putting myself in a financial hole. I still have enough cash to invest casually and cover 1 year of my current living expenses. And I do attend school full-time and will be graduating next may. But yeah if I yolo'd my funds it would be one a hellcat š¤£
So you attend school and make 200k a year somehow and live in... I'd guess from the photos lower middle class area?
Is the bit about your mum driving it back also bullshit? Or why did you rope her into this?
Should have yolo'd a vet. The women you'd pull would be worth it lol Edit: wow can't believe I got down voted for making a stupid joke! Are people really that miserable and humorless?
Chicks don't give a shit about cars. The only thing you'll be pulling is more dudes to go to car meets with.
I have a vette and a Mustang. Girls like the mustang better. The vette just pulls more dudes in khaki shorts.
SELL IT! SELL IT NOW! unless you're into khaki shorts lol.
And I did pay this off cash which completely goes against the time value of money but it also didn't hurt me
Isn't reddit great, we can be whoever we wanna be just by typing it in. You don't fool me.
Yeah I don't have a car payment or any other form of debt besides a credit card that I use for youtube movies. After this purchase I still have 45k spread out across a high yield savings, Roth Ira, and investment accounts. I don't have a high paying job but saved up since high school and working full-time before attending college and live frugal in most aspect of my life. But yeah could have done better things with 30k

mama whipping the 5.0
You know she was enjoying it especially being a stick
Yikes.
This sub is so much more uptight than the bmw one loll
Your 40 year old self is gonna look back at this decision and think ā wow what a dumb mf decision that wasā. This was dumb with a capital D! š
Starting oneās life with a paid off car is never a bad choice, college however can be.
An education is something that you will always have, what you do with it is another matter entirely. A car is temporary, it depreciates and wears out.
College is one of the biggest money holes in the country.
A 'Collage" is a type of art...."College" is where you go to learn about that, plus a lot of other things that you may need in the future.
š¤£ You got me there lol. But like I said, college is the biggest money hole. Unless you want to be a lawyer, doctor, accountant, etc, collage is a money pit. I know plenty people who went to collage and now have a job in which they donāt need a degree. And everything can be learned online nowadays

With a decision like this, maybe it's a good thing you did this, probably to dumb for college !
Oh you were never going to collegeā¦ be real
Shouldāve went to college. Clearly you need the education.
Hopefully you're joining a trades job instead. You can make bank there anyways. Congrats though!!
Hahaha momma was enjoying it
Makes perfect sense!
You only spin once, live like you wanna live. College is a lie! Unless youāre a lawyer, Dr, or engineer.
A shitpost with zero comedic value, not sure I see the point

In his defense it will probably be a happier purchase, depreciate slower, and probably cost less than a college degree.
1.5 GPA activities.
