The 2nd career adventures of Yankee

HAHA F*** no. You can make more at McDonald’s or Burger King. And no, I’m not joking.

I can’t think the stress level is low with TSA either.

I can get you work. High pay. Short hours.
It requires a relaxed view of intimacy with strangers, though.

Stop trying to pimp out Mrs. McDad....

If your willing to travel, check out the Millwright Unions. Got a cousin who’s now 70 and he still takes jobs as a crane operator because the money is so good he can’t turn it down. The Unions provide most of the training

Plus the hours are straight trash.

My BIL was the F/I manager at a dealership in AR and his hours were insane. He runs the store now, whatever that title is and still works a ton of hours.

Probably second biggest reason I got out as early as I could. Money is only so good as what you can spend it.

Once you've been in the business a few years, it gets harder and harder to get out.

Wait, is this still about cars?

You ain't wrong. I've only been in slightly over 2 haha

That's not a nice way to talk about your Mrs.

 

[Omar V Tinko]

Good for you.
Have you been to F&I school yet?

 

[YankeeVol]

I have not. I did have a trainer for a week that they brought in though.

It's the only way I know.

 

[YankeeVol]

Ended up with a decent month in finance. I'll take it for my first month.

 

[walkenvol]

Is finance a salaried or commission job?

The $1,000 Car-Loan Payment: Higher Prices, Interest Rates Push Up Monthly Costs

A growing share of people are paying much more. A record 12.7% of new-car buyers who signed up for a loan in June have a monthly payment of at least $1,000, according to Edmunds. That share is up from roughly 7% a year earlier, 5% in June 2019 and 2% in June 2010.

Seems insane to me. Over 10% are getting a $1000 car payment.

Insanity. There has to be a bubble about to burst.

There are a lot of folks out there that value specific cars much more highly than myself but that’s from a guy who’s never made a car payment.

@YankeeVol what’s the longest term length you’ve done? When I was selling, 75 was as long as we would do.

Personally I want to keep it 60 or fewer. I’d love to do a 48 or 36 at some point.

84. Though I had a customer who brought a pre approval for 96 months.

84 is pretty common now. 72 is the most common here. 60 and below is rare.

Not sure what company you work for, but what do think of a Honda Passport vs a Toyota Highlander? We are looking at both. Leaning towards the Honda
