I don’t understand why so many people buy new cars. Wasting a year’s worth of income. It doesn’t make sense. I get that people need a reliable vehicle to get to work but even if you just spend a half a year’s income it would make a lot more sense.

The need to fit in and be seen as upwardly mobile and have new things to impress others is so strong in us.
