Transcript

Do not go car shopping until you actually know what your budget is. And this is how much a car that you can afford based off monthly payments. Heads up, I am using my car calculator for all these numbers and it's linked on my profile. So, out of a monthly payment of $200 a month, that means that the maximum loan amount you can have on your car is $10,345 for your monthly payment to be $200. At $350 a month, that max loan amount increases to $18,103. At a monthly payment of $450, it goes up to $23,276. At $550, it's $28,449. At $650, it's $33,621. And at $800, it is $41,380. A lot of people call car payments silent wealth killers because they are so expensive these days. So when you're going to car shop, just make sure that you know your numbers and you're calculating your numbers yourself so that you can feel good about your monthly payment and also your total purchase price.
