    I have 1/4th the same proportional wealth of my parents’ generation.

    If cars aren’t 1/4th the proportional price from when they were my age, then I can’t afford a car.

    Living paycheck to paycheck, the only car I can see myself affording is after getting a loan for something less than $15k. I honestly don’t think I can ever pay off something more expensive than that, and I can’t go into debt before I have a chance to get a home loan that I will have a way harder time with.
