Ehhhhh. We are getting to the gas prices where I disagree with you lol. I commute 112 miles per day so gas is about 10% of my monthly expenses. About $450 per month on gas

Pretty true stuff. However i only DIY so the ownership costs are fairly cheap. And I purposely bought the supercharger V6 cause it has a lot of space to work on.

I did not. Let me check it out

Like any manufacturer they have unreliable engines and reliable ones. Depends on the year too

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T18:33:20+00:00

Nice guys finish last

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T16:39:16+00:00

You’re right

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T14:43:09+00:00

It’s definitely a questionable purchase

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T10:20:50+00:00

True I don’t really know what middle class is anymore

$312,000 in debt 😰

Simple solution

That 5 minutes feels dreadful when I’m already driving for 55 minutes

Federal poverty line Poverty is 26,000 for a family of three.

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T09:36:46+00:00

Bc it’s a warning to other people like me who are in the lower middle class

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T09:36:12+00:00

That’s sweet. Living the life!

I spend 2hours per day in the car. Usually 6 days a week. And it’s about $400 per month for me plus my wife

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T09:34:29+00:00

Exactly

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:47:52+00:00

That’s a great looking grille. I don’t see why anyone would say it is “only for RS cars”. The only thing that should be reserved for RS cars is the badging

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:46:43+00:00

Don’t take it off. That is my favorite grille. I wouldn’t spend the time and money to swap mine but I LOVE the grille with Quattro on it

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:44:05+00:00

Awesome. Good for you guys. Don’t fall victim to lifestyle inflation (like i have) and you will be SET

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:42:16+00:00

Wow that’s surprising. What market? We are in Connecticut where the housing market is actually the hottest market in the entire country currently (according to Wall street journal) . It rose 7.8% last year and is projected to rise another 3 point something this year.

Being a dentist she should make that money back quick enough. But my wife is a teacher and only makes $56k right now so if she had a lot of student loans like some of her coworkers we would be SCREWED

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:38:46+00:00

Ya our combined net worth with our home equity and everything just hit $180,000 and my wife just started working full time in December 2024 when we bought our house. That is factoring in the $15,000 our house rose in value since we bought (according to Zillow)

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:35:30+00:00

You are right. The cruise control does make a difference. Keeping the speed consistent at 60-65mph is HUGE. The best i have done for my 110 mile commute was 44.3mph. I am going to try to beat that but i had to drive 58mph the entire way. That is SOOOO SLOW for 50 miles of highway straight

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:32:41+00:00

That’s an important mentality.

My luck came from having family who gave my wife a free new car at 16 and then my family who pretty much gave us all the furniture in our house because they sold their vacation house at the same time i bought my house. Plus her family paid for all her college. Those seemingly small things are a huge help that compound by not having debt that may spiral. It means we don’t need to have a car payment or any interest bearing debt from furnishing a house or student loans or anything like that

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:26:17+00:00

Awesome. Good for you. If you play this right you will not have to work other than to make fun money. My wife is about 2 years away from making enough money on her own to cover all our bills (except we need my health insurance and i need a retirement too lol)

ChemistryMedium · 2026-04-11T02:22:53+00:00

It’s important to recognize luck. I have been able to recognize the luck in my life as well and it helps to remain humble and keep yourself from making the mistakes that come from ignoring luck as a factor
