note the reason you don’t admit to buying in cash is because the salesperson makes commission off the amount of money you’d be expected to pay over the life of the loan, including the gargantuan interest amount, so they’re incentivized to give you a much better price on the car knowing that the interest will more than make up the difference and help clinch the sale. if you say “I’m buying cash”, no discount.
keep in mind that some purchase contracts are canny to this tactic and will make the discount only apply if you’re financing, and the financing will renege on the discount if you pay off your loan within six months or some other fixed timeframe. read contracts carefully. you can still make out like a bandit if you time it carefully and never tell the salesperson what you’re planning on doing
On the one hand, not having a Speaker of the House is indicative of very serious issues in the American populace. It shows a divisive political dialogue and a country in crisis. The last two times this happened both preceded horrible periods of disruption in our country by about 10 years, the Great Depression and the Civil War. So it’s not a great look and does make one nervous about what is coming down the pipe
On the other hand it is genuinely so fucking funny
My friend told me the best example to explain the vast difference between a million and a billion
“A million seconds ago was last week. A billion seconds ago we were still dealing with the Soviet union.”
This is why when we talk about “rich people” who aren’t paying taxes or who are wasting money, we’re not talking about the person who makes 1 or 2 grains of rice worth of money a year. We’re talking about the person who makes the giant fucking Costco sized pile of rice.
If you earned $10.000 per day, every single day, and you never spent a SINGLE CENT on anything, it would take you approximately 273 years to become a billionaire.
So, if you had started saving that money on the eve of the French Revolution… you would STILL have almost another forty years to go before you’d have your first billion.
