A $600 monthly car payment might look affordable when you have a good salary. But what does that car really cost you over time?
In this video, we take a calm and realistic look at the hidden financial cost of a $600 car payment — including insurance, fuel, maintenance, depreciation, and the money you could otherwise use to build long-term wealth.
We also explore why higher earners often increase their lifestyle when their income rises, and how car payments can quietly become part of the lifestyle inflation cycle.
This isn't about saying you should never buy a nice car. It's about understanding the difference between being able to make a payment and being financially comfortable with the full cost.
