Welcome to the normal for the next 18 months. Then it will go back to the discount wars of old when supply chains straighten out and the cartel breaks again.

The real answer is that people only care about monthly payments - the most common loan term for cars is now 72 months 😳

Jesus that’s a long time…😳

A friend and spouse recently purchased a home twice the price of ours and took additional amount of loan on top "for paying off other debt." They make less than half what we make and owe three times as much in other stuff (car loans, cc, irs, etc). I'd be so stressed and likely wouldn't have taken such a loan (5.8%) for an even smaller home than ours. Just thinking about it stresses me out tbh.
