If u make $20 an hour, a gallon of gas now costs over 20% of your hourly rate. Most employers don’t reimburse employees for travel to and from work. This means costs associated with travel (I.e, gas, transit, maintenance, tolls, etc) are essentially a “fee” for working. Or, if you don’t like that perspective of it, gas costs are now a significantly larger chunk of someone’s income than it was 2 years ago

So your solution to not making enough to afford stuff is to go further in debt?

My solution to can’t afford gas is to go electric

Anonymous landtrust 6d

I get that, but the initial capital to go electric wouldn’t outweigh the increased operational expenditures for years. With a loan repayment on top of that, it doesn’t seem economically feasible for someone making less than like $80k/yr. Now if u had the capital and cash flow was the issue, that’d be a valid economical solution

I’ve done the math and depending on the EV the operating costs are lower when you account for charging at home

Nah yeah I’m sure it is cheaper to operate I don’t doubt that. Have you looked into it accounting for debt repayment tho? Like those fixed costs gotta be added. If u wanna get *freaky* you can look into depreciation too

Sure, but you’re still paying back the principal. 0% interest doesn’t mean 0 payments

Yeah you don’t get it for free. So just upgrade to an ev and never pay gas again

Again if affording gas is an issue, affording a $1,000 car payment for 36-48 months is gonna be a bigger issue I fear

Get a better paying job. I should’ve thought of that. A college degree and still no better paying job.
