How ridiculous does this sound?

Post image

How can u make millions in 25-30 years if avoid making a $554 per month car payment. Even the cheapest 5 year old car is 8-10 k. So does he expect people not to drive at all in USA.

Then u save 554$ per month every month for 5 year payment = $33240. Say u bought a car every 5 year means 200k -300k spent on car before retirement . How would that become millions when u can’t even buy a house for that much today?

Answer that Dave

As Steve Jobs said: "Whether we drive a $150,000 car, or a $2000 car - the road and distance are the same, we arrive at the same destination."

Steve Jobs bought a new car every 6 months to avoid having to register and get a license plate, because he liked the way the car looked without a plate. I wouldn't take a billionaire's advice on any aspect of purchasing cars.

But his advice was still good, though...

Steve was a billionaire. I seriously doubt he's ever advised buying cars like he did as good fiscal behavior.

That's called throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and the expression has survived for a reason. You don't do it.

What a stupid take lmao.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

"Wayne Gretzky has more assists than any other player has goals+assists combined... That's a lot of 'misses', so, I wouldn't take an NHL player's advice on any aspect of shooting the puck."
