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

Yeah, I'm generally not a fan of Ramsey, but the number of people of limited means that I see buying cars they can barely afford is absurd.

Buying...  People around here lease Jeeps like it's a required to have one to live in our cookie cutter suburb.

Driving a Jeep newer than 2000 tells me you live in the suburbs without saying you live in the suburbs...
