Cheap used EVs are great, but if you are still in college, you don’t need that much range, so a beater leaf is even cheaper.
Your refusal to go into credit card debt in your 20s was great. Continue not fucking doing that.
Denying every indulgence makes you explode in spending desperation once you eventually get a windfall. Instead, ration indulgences, don’t forbid them. Get familiar with “this was expensive. I shouldn’t do that often.” It will make resisting temptation much easier with the new shiney XL+909T comes out when you’re older.
