Sure sure.
I bought my first car on credit in 1989, a used Mazda R7. I was making $4 an hour, and my car payment was $345. Today, twenty-five years later, these kids are making $15 an hour and you can
lease a brand new BMW for $319 a month.
A new BMW used to be a status symbol. Now kids can drop out of high school and expect to make $15/hour. If you can't afford a $300 car payment when you are making $15/hour base wage, you are doing something wrong.
I'm just saying we are sending a bad message here. Why bother to complete high school when you will be rewarded with $15/hour to work fast food.
