So you are able to pay cash for everything, or at least for most "major" purchases, such as an automobile, a house, or even some furniture or appliances? Damn. It must be nice.
For most of us though, that isn't really an option. Even assuming if my car didn't break down last week, and I was able to save up some money for a higher down payment at my job, I would still have a car payment regardless once I entered the market to get a new (or used) vehicle even if I got into something cheaper temporarily. Saving up to pay all cash for a nice car would be virtually impossible for me, at least in any reasonable amount of time. The only difference really is that the inevitable came sooner rather than later. Not to mention that in the meantime, I would have to make too many sacrifices in quality of life in other areas to do this. Not worth it - I'd rather have the higher car payment and nice vehicle and still be able to afford do other things than spend who knows how many years trying to save up cash for a car.
