The typical Aussie employee earns about $75,000 a year. In this video I break down how ordinary Aussies end up in cars like that, and what it really costs. Here's what we cover: - A real $90,000 car deal: $10,000 deposit, $80,000 loan over five years at 8%, with a 30% balloon payment - What you've actually paid after five years, and what the car is worth - Insurance, rego and servicing on a premium badge - How much of a $75,000 salary is left after tax and car costs - What the same money could become in an index fund over ten years - Three simple things to check before you sign Timestamps: 0:00 The Bunnings car park paradox 0:59 Who's actually behind the wheel 1:26 How a $75K earner ends up in a $90K car 1:54 The balloon payment trap 2:21 Five years later: what you really paid 2:53 The tux you never own 3:25 Insurance, rego and servicing 4:21 Your real take-home pay 4:57 The hidden cost: risk 5:24 No ads, no sponsors 5:43 The other way: Audi vs Corolla 6:34 What a sensible version looks like 7:30 Real wealth vs the badge 8:21 Your turn: tell me in the comments What do you drive, and what's the loan like?
