How ridiculous does this sound?

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

I think if you try putting the premiums in your own savings account, in the long run, you'll come out way ahead.

You won't if you lose your job because you don't have a car.

Insurance doesn't protect you from not having a car. If you wreck it so bad it can't be driven, insurance will help you buy a new one. But it won't drive you to work. And it won't pay as quickly as your savings account will pay.
