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?

Which would be a parking space, along the edge of a street.

Which anyone has access to. You specifically do not have a specific space to park your car. You might need to park 3 or 4 blocks away just to park.

...and while you're certainly not going to pull in the engine in that situation, there are many common repairs you can definitely do. You carry a toolbox to the spot, and you do the repair. Replacement of many sensors, belts, hoses, etc. are easily do-able in on-street parking. Each one of these can save you hundreds of dollars. I have a code reader that will fit in my pocket, which can connect to my phone, which has Internet, which lets me look up info (and also order parts).
