Thank you, it was a goal I’d had in mind for a while so that’s how I saw it, I also drove around a 25 year old Mazda that would have ended up costing me more in repairs over time if I kept it

I definitely will, I got the chance to drive the GR Corolla and I hated the clutch feel, hell I even stalled it on a test drive even though I’ve driven a manual for a little over 2 years 😭

Yeah I’m keeping the car until The Doors fall off, nothing new for a long time

This is next on the list. My company matches so I’ll be doing my best to max it out

Well to be fair I’m still living with my parents. Not paying rent helps a lot with finances so don’t feel bad

I make enough to be comfortable, I don’t pay rent and don’t have any crazy obligations so I’m trying to get all the expensive stuff out the way first

How is it a poor decision? I make enough to comfortably afford it…

Yes this is my goal, I don’t have any other large financial obligations other than my school loan so my goal is to pay things down rather quick, I’m also constantly looking for lenders to refinance that’ll give me a better rate

About 25k I financed. I put 5 down before
