@v.tpk: Hot take: most people can't afford their giant dogs or cars but they're still buying both. It's going to be absolutely heartbreaking to watch all the gentle giants go to the pound and everyone ruin their credit and financial future over a transportation device. #financialliteracy #economiccrisis #hottake #toughlove #financialfreedom
I feel we've been in a recession if not a depression for years now. the legal definition isn't showing it because the economy is just great for the already rich 😅

Big dog, large car, homeowner here. I needed the big car before all the kids started launching and now that it’s paid off and we don’t drive it a bunch it makes more financial sense to keep the paid off car over downsizing.

The points about big cars 🙌🏼 I have been saying this! Cadillac Escalade vs. Toyota Sienna? I see 0 benefits of option 1.

As someone who has three rescues, two of which are large male pitbull - yes.

I had such a hard time finding a rental with a tiny dog, less than 10 lbs, non-barking and very clean. I was lucky that eventually I got a landlord who loved dogs. Took months and months!

As someone who loves big vehicles and has a big dog, you are absolutely correct.

I wanna comment all my counter arguments bc I have both a big dog and big SUV but it's irrelevant bc I need and can afford both.

Compact suv is about as big as a personal car needs to be.

I’ve been active on personal finance forums for decades, and almost every time someone shows up with a budget that doesn’t balance, an expensive vehicle with a car payment is involved.

I love my dogs, rescued them over 15 years ago. If I could tell 20 year old me not to get big dogs yet, I would.

I need a big car 😩 I have 3 kids, one in a car seat and the other in a booster. My eldest is really big for his age, not old enough to be in the passenger seat, but to big to fit with booth seats in the back. I’m doing my best to find something in my price range that is also fuel efficient.

I moved from NJ to TX and it genuinely surprised me how many huuuge trucks and SUVs were on the road. And many of those owners had to drive for Uber to pay their bills and apartment rent.

This is why I have a cat and a civic. I want a truck or SUV to deal with the winter but at this point I'm just throwing that dream out.

I’m thankful to have my husbands truck for hauling logs, cinder blocks, etc. but I’m also extraordinarily glad that I can drive my more fuel efficient car on days I don’t have to haul stuff. You are completely right.
