Why does this girl have car payments, let alone $600.month? Oh, wait, a $2,000 used Civic doesn't look flashy enough. The bus is for the poor and the homeless. Yeah, all of that stuff.
Exactly!

One of the reasons.....Florida is a 'no-fault' state re vehicle insurance.

If you moved to a 'non no-fault' state, you'd probably pay less (with other factors being similar).

She can do that, she’s young, but we don’t know her circumstances. Maybe has a mom to help who knows

She can do what many others and just use the damn bus. It might suck at first, but you get used to it, and quickly realize how convenient it is for a mere $2/ride.

This post reinforces my belief that Johnnie Walker Red is so bad, Johnnie Walker Black drinkers would rather switch to mainstream rum than drink it.

You could do that too, if you wanted to (if your car insurance bill upset you enough). You're retired.

Some of the poorest people get by and wish they owned a car.

One wonders if she is a smoker, boozer, drug user, gambler, as those people always seem to have enough money to support their vices.

I don't know if the law is still the same re certain types motorized scooters/bicycles/mopeds, but a little over 10 years ago I thought about moving to Dunedin and having one of those and a car and using the former re going to a barrier island beach (Clearwater, Pass-a-Grille/St. Pete Beach, etc.) during high traffic and not having to sit in traffic with cars.

Half the content creators in the red pill milieu would have zero content if it weren't for whiny girls on TikTok. They'd literally have nothing to respond to.

Instagram has some of that same silliness, but TikTok is the worst. IG complaining only gets you so far with followers, and you have to be positive now and again. On TikTok, negativity seems to rule the roost.
