Saw a thread on renting an apartment once retired, and it made me think of buying a car...
Just to throw out some round figures, if currently I'm making 10% in the market and yet I can finance a car for 1.9% it makes no sense to me to pay cash for a car. That said however, as with the renting an apartment example, if I am FI and can very, very easily make a car payment, how does that work if I don't have a job?
BTW, also new to the forum. I have been hanging around reading posts and they have prompted a lot of questions which have helped me refine my FIRE date. Thanks for all of the great advice and discussions...
