Car Loans and Wealth
Besides housing, one of the biggest expenses many American families have is transportation. While some cities have excellent mass transit systems, having a car payment can take a healthy chunk of your money.
Auto lending topped a trillion dollars for the first time last year.
The average monthly payment for a new car is just shy of $500 while used one will set you back about $360. If you’re a two car family, your payments can be sucking your finances dry without giving you much.
If you really want to become financially independent faster, dumping your car loan can be an effective way to ramp things up.
Downsizing to one car might not be an option for you now, so you may be wondering where you can find a good car for a great deal?

Great subject matter and information. Very timely for me, considering another car loan, my current is almost paid off… This is making me rethink that.
Glad the episode gave some food for thought. Please let me know what you decided!
