I dunno if there is already a thread like this, I did a quick search but not patient enough.

So what I’m wondering is:

- Age.
- What you do for a living.
- Do you live with your parents/rent/or own.
- What do you spend monthly on cars.

I’ll Start.

- 24
- Transportation Planner
- Live with the Parents rent free
- I was spending between $500 - $1000 a month, but now saving for a condo.

It just sometimes boggles my mind how much money some people spend on their cars, I want to know if I’m doing something wrong in life lol
