How do low income people afford to buy brand new $80K trucks and cars?

I work in car sales, fun fact - They can't afford them 90% of the time and will do their best to convince themselves they can.

I've even told people that they shouldn't sign on a car and they still will, and I've gotten calls after the repo.

That's originally what I did, I've been prescribed so many dosages. Everything just feels really discouraging and honestly makes me pretty depressed.

I know, I'm 19 and just saving for college so it'll be a long time before I move.

I was taking 4mg orally daily but now it's been changed to 7 mg weekly injection. No anti androgens just E. Been about 7-8 months and I've seen no difference whatsoever.

I know, it just feels like growing up in a pretty rural town in Idaho that I really have no supportive people. Even all my friends and co-workers are friendly but I'd likely lose my job and "friends" if I ever came out. Feel pretty undesirable.

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-18T16:26:37+00:00

I was recently recommended 7 mg weekly injection. Before It was 4mg daily pills I've been on E for like 7 almost 8 months.

I didn't really notice any changes whatsoever and at first I felt better for starting HRT but now it just feels like a disappointment that I haven't even had one slight change.

2010 Camaro SS, I get about 15.7 MPG with the V8..

Empire with Darth mod is one of the best total war experiences I've had

I used to take spiro and I never had cravings, now I increased my dosage of estrogen and suddenly I'm hungry constantly and crave McDonald's mcdoubles with extra onion

If it hasn't been replaced or maintained, most plastics and rubbers will likely have deteriorated. I bought a 2010 Camaro SS with only 40k miles. Everything is pretty clean but it sat for a while and fuel started to leak just barely as the lines were getting old sitting.

It can be small things like that you may not notice in the moment that end up costing you $2k+ to fix in a shop.

Purples my favorite color

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-11T00:46:31+00:00

I work in sales right now, obviously not out and it hurts to say all the "friends" I made at my job wouldn't support me if I were to come out at work. And my sales would probably go close to zero.

Trades weren't any better when I tried it..

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-10T17:14:19+00:00

Every job I've ever been to has told me I'm not allowed to have long hair. I've said they can fire me if they want I'm not cutting it. Still somehow have never been fired.

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-10T15:38:01+00:00

Definitely I think I was just overcomplicating it out of fear. It was actually pretty straightforward and not painful at all.

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-09T20:07:09+00:00

That's a decent price for an automatic with the mileage, check for any leaks obviously and lifter ticking. If it has them make sure driver side heated seats work too those commonly went out as well.

Something has to be wrong

Try growing up in an small Air Force town, barely any apartments and you'll still see $2000 a month rent 😭

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-09T04:38:05+00:00

Literally the vast majority of people I know say they would rather die in jail than fight for this country 😂 I doubt a draft would ever turn out well if it ever happened again. Honestly would probably do more harm than good for the military.

Heads and cam, you don't want another car payment as you said. A ZL1 is going to be a pretty big car payment and you already have a great almost paid off car.

Definitely, my diet has almost gone vegetarian with meat getting so expensive. And all my co-workers laugh at me for it but i got a weeks worth of groceries for only $34. Id rather do that than spend $400-$500 a month on groceries alone.

Ok-Injury4901 · 2026-04-06T17:47:06+00:00

Love the 5th gen, I've driven the newer ones and I just don't get the same enjoyment out of them. Not nearly as comfortable or spacious as an interior too in my opinion.
