I am 40 years old, married, two kids, we have what I would consider an “average” or comfortable income, excellent credit and we are very responsible with our money but I couldn’t even come close to being able to afford some of the builds I see. I know this is a personal or private subject for most people but I would love to see any responses on how “most” people do it. Are they in crazy debt, credit cards, inheritances or just filthy rich??  |
I would caution assuming everyone can really afford the cars they have and/or have built. I can easily see guys everywhere who do not have financial priorities in order. It's like lots of people who APPEAR to have money and are well off with fancy new cars and a big house, etc etc but behind the scenes are debt poor. It's the American dream unfortunately all too often.
