Answer 5

Super YAY: Buy a car and have to work at least one week to pay of the monthly statement for five years, Buy a House and have to work for two weeks to pay off the monthly statement for thirty years, not to mention Home electronics.  So Me, and almost every American works to pay off their debt just like slaves in the times of our forefathers.

Yup.  The only person who doesn't worry that their car might need repairs, maintenance, or a replacement are those who don't have one.  Less is more.  Strive to survive.
