She’s obviously selling her scripts if she’s surviving at that job.

Used car prices have shot up over the last few years. Add on the increasing price for new ones nd it is not hard to see why. People not paying of their cars and rolling over the remaining balance is the new norm.

For real, every time I buy a car (used) it gets older and more expensive.

Sad when you can’t find a decent small truck under $10k unless you want 300k miles. Shit is out of control

older people simply don’t know how to save money. they don’t know how to navigate the internet like we do and they’re not savvy enough to locate deals or negotiate like younger people are.
I’m really not surprised they’re getting ripped off. Everyone in this country wants to rip everyone else off because thats what capitalism has taught us we need to do to survive. Being old lowers your defenses against it. Hell, its why so many older people are victims of scams.
