  • Yup. We run two cars since we both commute for work but one is fully paid off and the other one is almost done. They payment for the first one is now going into a repair account for it and a down payment account.

    The reason we haven't paid off the other car is because we had 0% financing. So the money going into the ally account is making us money vs the bank having it.

    We also have a gm card and both cars are gm. So we should have several thousands to redeem on that towards a new down payment.




  • I live in NJ and my last car before this had a 100mile round trip commute on it. Last I checked they salt the roads. I don't do any maintenance on my car. I take it in for service at the dealer during the finance period and then a local shop near me for larger repairs. I take it to a valvoline for oil changes. Last car I retired needed a total of 6grand in repairs over its life that weren't regular maintaine. That is why I said to take 20% of the payment and put it in a bank account for repairs. You should read another person's posts before making a bunch of self serving assumptions to make your self feel better



  • Nah.

    It's poor planing and over spending that is the issue. People who lease cars are on an endless cycle of never owning anything and always laying a premium.

    Just actually buy a car you can actually afford.monthly payments on and drive the car into the ground. Every car in have owned has made it at least a decade and a 150k miles. Once you are done paying off take what the monthly payment would be and out it into two banks account split 20/80. Woth the 80% being towards a new car and the 20% being for repairs.




  • Actually Korean and Japanese dramas are very popular on Netflix. With Blackl pink and bts being so popular along with anime lots of younger people watch them.

    As new Hollywood content Dries up people will look for either older content they haven't consumed yet or alternative content like k dramas

    As for people willing to scab. There are other countries out there without the unions. Many of those countries have a high level of English speakers that would likely love a Hollywood pay check for a while. There are also many people in America who wouldn't care and if they can get a movie or TV show that could pay hundreds of thousands vs retail or service industry jobs it could be worth it even for a short time.
