Fast Tracks: Paying to Cut the Line

Get another job that requires less travel or move closer to work. Not only will you save money but you’ll get your life back. That’s a shit ton of windshield time!

I believe Brownski helps sell wine and the like.
Somebody's gotta do it.

I walked to work for almost 30 years. It was great.

I drive about 8 miles now to work, but I do drive a lot to ski.

You must pay cash for a depreciating asset while the equity markets go up, as always in the long term, and think you're smart.

You said the financial institution is investing it in the market which they are not.

Yeah, I’m in outside sales. That’s not changing. Sitting in an office doesn’t work for me.

I was thinking of breaking it out:

Paying Cash for a Depreciating Asset while the Equity Markets Rise

Honestly I think I've done that ^^ before. Can you still get a hall pass if you are also investing in stocks at the same time?

At least once, maybe twice, I wrapped a car into a refi. That seemed kind of dicey to me, but hey.

Paying Cash for a Depreciating Asset

Funny thing is that if you can buy a new car at MSRP, chances are it's worth more than you just paid for it.

Longer borrowing periods on cars is in line with cars generally lasting longer and owners keeping cars longer. It is not something I would suggest, but it is not as insane as it would have been a few decades ago. The ability to borrow with low interest rates is also a positive. One more new factor is working from home. That will bring mileage/usage way down for many people.
