Payments suck, so does financing, so if thats what you like go ahead buy a new car already!

Payments help your credit, credit pretty much makes or breaks you as an adult. I think i shall next spring when the weather gets nice again.
The reason I keep talking about financing is b/c I am tired about people talking about their dream-car, etc. and having it be such an obtainable goal. This summer I worked with a chick who's dream car was a fucking Olds Alero. To top that off, she had just purchased a Cavalier Z24 since she claimed an Alero was too expensive. I pretty much went off on her saying a cheap Alero would be the same price as the Z24, and if she was to get a year-old one, she could get a fully loaded Alero for less than she paid for the Z24. Finally, at the end of the summer she took my advice and got rid of the Z24 for an Alero. Being a lazy American she took a huge loss, she traded the car in for 50% of its private-party value since she claimed she was too busy this summer to try and sell it on her own (keep in mind she worked 20 hr weeks and nothing more). Oh well, end of the story she got the car she always wanted b/c after I threw some numbers at her she realized her dream was obtainable.
