    Where do you get $1000 ahead? The $7000 car is good for 2 yrs at least.

    And I am coming from the position of where I have landed. Bought my first house at 22. Mortgage free at 45 on a 50acre farm. Never owned a car worth more than $10g until I was 40. And no debt whatsoever and retired at 46.

    you said $7000 then outlined $2000 worth of maintenance against $5000 a year for 2 years. I'm just reading your example is all.

    It was $2000 in maintenance, but that is not going to be every year you need tires and brakes. That was for 2yrs of ownership.

    conjecture. With the state of the economy it’s expected to drop development capital and stock price for meta, but that doesn’t mean it’s finished. I’m sure a lot of this RIP hype is being sowed by Apple and Apple investors/journos in preparation for their headset coming out. It’s still very much in development.

    "Conjecture," as opposed to your "I'm sure"?

    The RIP is poignant as it relates to something that is closer for most of its user base than it used to be. Go check the average age of the users on Facetube and you'll understand. The single most run ad currently is likely for casket sales.

    I'm moving a pile of bucks into a physical asset until the market gets its head out of its ass.

    C'mon man, "The economy is going to be fine." "Inflation is transitory!" The current economic agenda is working!
