Notice I implied it wasn't easy, then you said it wasn't that hard. Then you laugh at me when I acknowledge what you say isn't that hard in my argument, but you said all you need is a little "discipline" previously. I'm done though it's obvious you're convinced that whatever I say is whining like you said.

I'm not arguing with you in particular, I'm just arguing. I like arguing. I have no beef with you personally, I'm just making my points.

The disconnect in our discussion come from the fact that we were discussing two different things. I said that IF you are debt free, the money is relatively easy to come up with. I also said that getting debt free was incredibly difficult thanks to a lack if discipline.

Just like Zapatha said, you like to use extreme cases. How about a $3000, 10-year old Camry and and new $20K new Camry? If you get a decent job, good credit, you can use that $3000 as down payment for a new Camry with 0% interest and a monthly payment of about $270 for the next 5 years. If you rather spent it on that $3000, 10-year old Camry, what would happen in the next 5 years? Timing belt, transmission, engine, alternator, starter... I'm sure you always keep $1K or $2K aside for those emergencies. What would happen if you have the cash to replace those part? Put it on your credit card? It doesn't matter how you look at it, or how you word it, it's debt...

I used Mustangs because they are my vice and the reason that I didn't crawl out of debt a long time ago.

Even the zero percent Camry from your example is a bad choice IMO. Essentially what you're saying is that you'd rather spend an extra $17,000 because you MIGHT have to buy a couple hundred dollars worth if parts per year.

To each their own.

However, the key caveat of that argument I feel is that the same folks who can't crawl out of debt if they get more debt likely wouldn't have good enough credit to be able to secure 0% financing anyway. Some might, but most would probably be stuck with 19% or better.

My whole beef is with people who have $100,000 or more in debt but which don't even have a mortgage, and who then complain that they don't make enough. That's just foolish!

Most likely we would have to give up any tank over 10 gallons.

I can't. I have a big tank and lots of stuff.

This transformer home in Hong Kong is very cool. I can see that it would work great for a small space and one person. But what happens if someone is cooking in the "kitchen" and someone needs the bathroom?

The little homes in the article are on wheels so that they can be moved. I think they are ugly, and they certainly aren't aerodynamic. If it's going to be a home on wheels, I'll take one of these.....I could live in one for a few months, especially if we're playing at the lake.
