Car Costs Are Breaking the Bank

Car ownership used to mean freedom, but now it’s more like a financial trap. Nearly 40% of drivers are skipping basic maintenance just to save cash, and almost a third have picked up a second job just to keep their car running. Gen Z is hit hardest—over half have delayed repairs, and some are even using AI to diagnose issues (yikes). With new car prices soaring and even high earners feeling the pinch, it’s no wonder people are holding onto old cars for dear life. Is driving even worth it anymore? #Cars #CarCrisis #AutoAffordability
