More drivers falling behind on their car payments

People are stupid man. I have a friend who can barely pay for rent and just leased a car after I told her literally no joke,15 times (on 15 different occasions) NOT to ******* do it and now she's late 2 months.... she got the car 2 months ago.
What kind?
 
Well yeah, she's an able bodied adult, in what universe am I charged with taking care of her? She's not my kid, nor is she an elderly person. She should be perfectly capable of taking care of herself and if she falls into a position where she isn't, thats her own fault, and thus her problem.

I'm not in the business of coddling people.

I am a twin, sharing was one of the foundations of my upbringing, my money is his money.
Hate to derail the thread more but I'm curious:

Your wife falls ill and her insurance doesn't cover the full process for her recovery/surgery, you just gon sit back and hope she finds the money for it or then you break your morals and pay?

Key word in what I said was able bodied. She falls ill she's no longer able bodied. Totally different ballgame there.

But any other situation she's in where she just can't financially reach that itch, she's on her own?

More or less. Her circumstances are not my circumstances. It's not my fault she doesn't have funds for XYZ

I really don't see the big deal of ppl knowing income.  Now everything that you have saved, all your assets, etc. that can be a different story

It isn't a big deal. Nobody said it was.

We are simply saying, why do they need to know?

I'm pretty sure they don't need to know a thousand other things about you if we're going by that standard.  I guess I just see income as something like what I like to do for fun or other misc info where it's not a big deal and pretty much everyone I keep in touch with all know each other's incomes
 
I'd rather tell someone know how much I can afford rather than how much I make. Saying I make x amount of money will have people thinking I'm balling, but that doesn't take into consideration my expenses and debt.
 
Some things you just don't ask people...

-How much do you make?

-How much did you pay for your house/car?

-When are you having kids..or another one?

-Are you pregnant?

Sometimes it's just better to assume, or just use google to get a general idea to what people make salary-wise, or what they paid for their homes/cars. :lol:

so wait...i cant ask my younger brother or my homie of 22 years any of these questions?
 
I don't know maybe its because I'm young, but I see nothing wrong with any of those questions if your close friends.
 
If you fall back on your car note, that's a self brought problem. Can't you think ahead?

Will you be employed ? Do you get a steady check? Is the car worth paying a monthly note? Will the insurance be a lot? Can I afford my "living expenses" and still buy this car?

I feel no pitty for someone who falls back on a car payment.

Well, family is OBVIOUSLY different...I'm talking friends/co-workers.

*edit*

Even with my closest friends, none of these questions have been asked....to each his own, but I think there is a mutual respect for some sense of privacy regarding salary, how much certain things were priced at before being bought, and fertility stuff.

because people can predict BS layoffs 2 year in advanced :rofl:
People can predict getting hurt and not being able to work :rofl:
You sound so childish and privileged
 
This thread about marriage counseling, and dialogue ettiquette.

At the end of the day, you have to live within your limits. Plenty of money makers out there burn through money like nothing and end up broke.

This artifical lifestyle people keep envisioning is rather farfetched. If you can afford it, then I suppose it makes sense, but money can always be better spent elsewhere.

He sounds like someone who doesn't believe in living check to check.

People shouldn't be in situations where getting laid off causes them to miss car payments. Able bodied men should never be in that spot.

I'd work fast food before I missed a car payment.
