Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Gen Z, cars, savings, and advice.

We're just diving straight into the message on this one.

Ms. Bell, I have a money question that somebody should probably ask their parents,

but asking my parents about how to handle money is like asking Christy Noam how to take care of your pet.

I feel bad because you may have already covered this, and I don't know, because I skip most

of your economic videos.

Sorry, I'm 22, and most of that is for people who have money.

So here's my question.

I have paid off my first car, and she's a good car.

But I told myself when I paid it off, I'd get the car I actually wanted, because I would

have earned it.

I went to the dealer and the car payment on what I want is twice what I was paying.

Prices went up and what I make didn't at all. I know I can't afford it. I can

still afford $2.89 per month. My question is, what the actual F am I supposed to do? I can't even

upgrade my car after four years of working. Getting a house or even moving out of this effing apartment seems

impossible. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. I live within my means and I still can't get ahead.

How do I go from here to where I want to be? Okay. First, you're doing good. You are in fact doing it right. Your actions are fine,

but you have to adjust your thinking a little bit. First, you said, I'd get the car I actually

wanted because I would have earned it.

Never ever equate the amount of money you make or the standard of living you have with what you've earned again. I know people who work harder in a day than some CEOs will ever work

their entire life who have low standards of living.
