Yeah it was only $30,000. instead of $50,000 but the same thing.
I did need a new car but I wanted the stereo stuff way more.
(A car is easy to finance, stereo equipment is a lot bigger problem to finance at a low rate anyway.)
So I spent the cash on stereo stuff i listen to every day 365 days a year.
After two years i finally bought a new car (At 3.9% four years) a 2012 Ford Focus with sport package and manual transmission. Nice car. i drive it a few hours a week. (35mpg or better, up to 47mpg freeway)
The stereo i listen to every day at least 12 hours a day... or more.
