I remember in 2013 when I got my truck loan at the time the lady made the comment that I had the 2nd highest number she had ever seen. I really dont understand how. All I ever had was a mortgage and at the time 2 vehicle loans in my life. Not really anything out of the ordinary. Everyone makes house and vehicle payments.
Living paycheck to paycheck is super common for a lot of Americans. Our society tries its best to manipulate people into overspending and keeping up with the Joneses. Living in unsustainable debt is the American way.
Also, a lot of people with high credit scores probably just outright buy cars, or outright lease them if they are really rich.
I don't even have an 800 credit score and will probably just outright buy my next car to replace the one I've been driving for over 20 years (unless of course there is a super low or 0% interest deal).
