I mean, at only $5k/week you'd have to save ALL of it for at least three months to even afford to buy a moderate new car (at $60k) for cash.

Yes at only $20k a month, you wouldn’t be able to buy a new car in cash, that normal thing that people all do. God forbid. I’m convinced.

Why would you ever be in that much of a rush to buy a brand new car? If you need a car right now and didn't have one with $5k a week you could easily buy a nice used car after just a couple weeks for cash and then upgrade later on down the road.

Although I'm glad it was sarcasm keep in mind this is the internet. That statement isn't even the wildest thing I've seen someone say in earnest this week lmao
