Top Highlights
“The average millionaire drives a two-year-old car with no payments. He or she simply bought it. The average millionaire is unwilling to take the loss that a new car dishes out; that is how they became millionaires. I am not saying you will never drive a brand-new car, but until you have so much money you can lose big bucks and not notice, you can’t afford the luxury. The car dealer will tell you that you are ‘buying someone else’s problems.’ Then why do they sell used cars? Wouldn’t that be morally wrong? The truth is that most slightly used cars have gotten all the kinks worked out of them and were not traded because they were bad cars. In fact, there’s a good chance you are buying a car that came off a lease. My last two car purchases were one- and two-year lease turn-ins with low miles.” (source)
