Yeah I was going to say the same thing, he has high income, he could easily continue paying off debt from the income, and finance the shiny car too.
Maybe it was a psychological thing for him. He wanted to really be debt-free. I can understand that, and I'm like that too. I never owed anyone anything. Always pay in full, no installments, even if they are interest-free. If I cannot pay in full, I don't buy it. The only exception I could accept would be a home loan/mortgage.
AlcoHoDL, 100% agree!.. i think it is the psychological feeling of not having to worry about the next pay-cycle that needs to pay for this or that. Not having to budget and check your balance each time you shop or head out for the evening is a wonderful feeling.
I understand why he bought most of the stuff out right, Hell, I've done the same. Not having to worry about about weekly repayments for this or or that.
Besides, what most people are not seeing in his post, which i believe is the most important point,
not being forced to have to work. He is now
choosing to go to work, which until you experience it, you won't know what i mean.
