How Much Car Can You Really Afford? (By Salary)

Today's video is all about figuring out how much car you can afford based on your salary. It's a common question we all face when car shopping, and it's crucial to understand this to prevent getting overwhelmed by hefty car payments down the line. In this video, we'll take a deep dive into the 20/4/10 rule which is a widely accepted guideline to determine what you can afford. We will break down each part of this rule (20% down payment, finance for no more than 4 years, and a total monthly payment not exceeding 10% of your gross income) and provide examples for better understanding. We're also going to discuss other financial factors that you should consider like insurance, maintenance costs, fuel efficiency, and depreciation. It's not just about the sticker price or the monthly payments, it's about the total cost of ownership. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of what price range to look at when you're at the dealership. Whether you're buying your first car, upgrading to a new one, or thinking about getting that dream luxury vehicle, this video is a must-watch! 🚗 Don't forget to like this video, comment your thoughts or any questions you might have, and subscribe for more financial insights and tips.
