Then again if you're majoring in mechanical engineering as I hope to soon after the military, you should learn how to work on your car on your own. You save so much money.

@@halvey8518 Im not studying mechanical engineering, but I definitely plan to learn how to be able to work on a car on my own

I am in mechanical engineering, I'm also a junior. And i work on my car pretty much exclusively.

How do you guys have time for homework?

@@jpain97_ i do not work on it everyday. I work on it every 3-4 months for oil (takes an hour or so) and then if something breaks i fix it myself unless it's ridiculously hard. (a month ago my crankshaft position sensor went out and I couldn't take apart my engine)

I was just thinking "hey guysss Chris Fix heree". 😂😂

Smart man

93 Celica

BMW e39, except 540i, are reliable and easy to work on

Thomas Sears scotty omg

Never to late to become better than yesterday self

Same here, lol

He goes to a for-profit school. Plus Grand Canyon University's engineering program is NOT accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). So don't give him too much credit lol! Engineering is highly competitive. The first thing employer wants to know if whether the newly-graduate applicant graduated from an ACCREDITED engineering program within a not-for-profit public RESEARCH university.

@@sdlock83 Everything you just said is very true but besides that he has a great financial head on his shoulders considering his age.

@@guitarjag1 No, not that he's got a "great financial plan." The issue is most people in America are financially ignorant. My family is by no means wealthy. But none of us, including my cousins, most of us millennials, graduated college with debt. Why? Just common sense to us. We shop out choice of school based on reputation and price, meaning we choose only public research universities with the best rates and ACCREDITED programs--ABET for engineering, AACSB for business (ACBSP accreditation is NOT good enough for us), etc.. Second, we negotiate our aid packages for the lowest final price. We threaten not to enroll and go elsewhere if the school doesn't meet our tuition assistance "demands" (we make it very clear that the school needs the tuition from our enrollment more than we need them). Third, we all chose majors that makes us more employable when we graduate (engineering, accounting, business administration, computer science, etc.) and leave our area of interest to either a secondary major or a minor. None of us graduated with student loan debt, and we're able to purchase our first homes within 2 years after graduating.

Your not that old. It's good you woke up in your 30s then in your 40s or 50s

@@93mloThanks, I appreciate your comment and sentiment. I'm actually 46 now, with a 420k+ net worth. Sometimes it hit hits me, if I had only been a bit more mature when I was younger, that I could easily be a millionaire by now and closer to retirement I owe much to Dave's teachings. About 14 years ago my net worth was a approximately negative 5 thousand.

Investing Hustler best advice ever I’ve been burned badly never again

SURE WILL

You're right, but thats still cheaper than depreciation

Peeeerrrrrrfect.

no, the worst feeling is buying an expensive car because somebody has given you the misconception that expensive cars can't be lemons and then having it constantly break down on you and cost another fortune AND lose you a third one in depreciation.

I thought that was his job?

What do you suggest: putting up a sign "Only Wealthy Clients' Financial Worries Welcome"?

Dave wants this young man to stay on the path he is on. he is truely wise beyond hs years and handling money better than most people.

People with big money wouldn’t be calling him in the first place if they earned it then selves. They don’t need logical advise.

i think he gets excited hearing about young men like him making the right decisions

what year is it?

What year is it

cool you went from a safer car to a less safer car to save money! structurally they are very poor tin cans

I have a Toyota Corolla and I must say, the vehicle is very good. Just the basic maintenance. If you’re looking to start building wealth, start with a Corolla!

He has a lot of experience in this field.

How much should save up for my first? I got $800 so far…

But if I buy the new 3500 crew cab dually, I get a $4000 rebate. WHAT A DEAL! And they are selling it at a loss ;)

Except insurance on older cars is higher

@@moderndayentertainment5812 - in my state, liability insurance costs the same, whether the car costs $800, or $80,000. Obviously, you are not going to pay for comprehensive and collision on an $800 car.

not everybody wants to drive an ancient car

Unless you add back up camera. Thats lowers a bit ​@moderndayentertainment5812

"Doesn't need Dave" even thought he said he has been listening to David and he is the reason his made some of the choices he did.

His hustle is the reason why he had to spend $2000 in repairs. Food delivery service is a ripoff and does nothing but destroys your car.

Car trading is one of the most difficult things there is, for a private buyer or seller. For professionals it is different. They are your friend as soon as you pass the treshold.

Sadpants McGee 😂😂😂😂

He isn’t too smart

Doing deliveries is what's messing his car up. To make that much money you have to put lot of miles. Average pay is $1/mile so he puts 2k a month. Whatever car he gets it's going to be run to the ground with this road warrior mentality and this job is not sustainable for long because the payments start catching up to what you make. Yea the money might be good but you'll literally pay half of it just fixing your car

Especially if you can sell the current car you have.

ha

Everyone needs a little validation, sometimes.

thats amazing. How much are you paying for insurance on it?

$100/mo

Nathan Kestner me too, are you with Allstate?

You can get over 200++ miles on that car. I have one.

lt Williams what about my 03 Ford Explorer? You think my car can reach that mileage ? I’m currently at 151,500 miles

That's awesome for you

I think you can do that today honestly

Anastasia Beaverhausen mechanical engineering has a lot of growth? It’s not software or electrical, but I’ll give him this: at least he didn’t pick chemical engineering.

@@joshualaughlin2385 lol

Where you get that

you can easily flip that, but wow that’s a stupid crazy deal

Noeci Rocha Yea and those old folks only drive to the supermarket & back. And maybe to play bingo on Tuesday nights... No wonder their Corollas never break down. Old folks don’t make deliveries or drive Uber all day or take kickass road trips...

Samuelfish I drive a 1997 Toyota Camry and I drive it 30 miles a day and I regularly drive 400 miles there and back to visit my family. And I do all maintenance myself or with the help of my brother or father-in-law. It is an extremely reliable vehicle and I could only assume a Toyota Corolla would be the same story.

I’m sure u do

N you comment on KZfaq videos

Did you end up sticking with meteorology? I'm currently working towards this career, nice to see someone who did the same! :)

deltaX NA he still graduated... None of that walking across the stage and paying for a robe your wear once, but he grduated....

Nifty still have my 03 Honda Accord.

A Toyota will

Liz Cedillo got the same question

probably cashing out on unemployment

@@thenman23 haha possibly. Dave has another video of that exact situation. Workers refused to go back to work! They're probably on the couch watching the traffic hour on tv says, "glad that isn't me."

I work for GrubHub Corp. out drivers are making good money out of this situation. I’m sure he’s good.

He dropped out

Jacob Votava he says his senior year should cost $4500. He could possibly have scholarships or his parents might be helping him.

@Jacob Votava uhhhhh he could easily have scholarships

@Jacob Votava it's called Financial Aid Buddy

Mechanical engineering and can't work on his own car?

If he had sense, he never would’ve purchased a Mitsubishi. Ever. For any price.

Also this would be a great platform to have at schools = money smarts. Not everyone is lucky to have that education at home.

I've been scouring Craigslist for this elusive $3,000 Corolla but I'm not having any luck

I would think modern used cars would be less reliable because of so many computers and increasing complexity.

Some Accords and Civics, most notably after 2000, are surprisingly unreliable.

I had 2003 civic. It was the best! Someone hit me in 2015 and totalled it. I miss that paid for car.

In my city i've found accords and camrys for a good deal around 3k, and older Nissan cars are great, and some GM and Ford's mostly their full size sedans, suvs and trucks are good

admittedly I didn't listen to the entire broadcast I'm just going through the comments thank you for highlighting that if he's using his car for delivery then he needs to go with a hybrid that's all there is to it he's putting in the miles they are selling Toyota Prius all day long too and $3,000 you might have to do a little work with the battery if you got 6,000 you can probably get a generation 3 car easy and we're talkin flawless we're talkin automobiles with hardly anything wrong with them maybe a small door ding or something like that we're talking cars that have good air conditioning and heater decent stereos and it just don't break down you talk to the number two most reliable automobile the only reason it's number 2 is because the number one most reliable automobile that happens to have the same engine is not a hybrid. Hybrids do have a slighter reliability risk but oddly enough with a hybrid the more you drive it the better it helps out that system so if you're delivering pizza or something like that and you really want to have a hybrid.

@@GEAUXFRUGAL Good to see possible to get used hybrid at affordable prices too.

@@GEAUXFRUGAL Prius is a great car, BUT on a $3500-4500 budget he is looking at an older model in the 2004-2008 range. The risk of a $3k battery failure would be to risky. I would stick to a small to mid sized 4 cylinder car. Maybe a Corolla, Civic, Accord, Camry, 2008-11 Focus.

I've had several old cheap cars that I had to commute in that didn't give me too much grief. I saved tons on insurance, and interest and payments. I'm very successful now---it really does work.

MeMe O. NICE

Know what you mean...my mom has a 95 Corolla with well over 400k miles and still running strong. People ask her all the time if she is planning on selling her car, and she tells them, “No way!” 😆

Leo Cardenas good to see so many fellow 20ish year olds here

Xela yeah i bought a 99 camry with 140k miles for 2700 and its never gonna die

Oh and this kid is a total rock star

Sounds like you need a divorce like yesterday.

Really what state because not in NYC state

So true. I bought an 05 Grand Marquis with 45K miles for $4000 from an older woman. It now has 61K miles on it and I haven't had to do a single repair on it yet, just oil changes. It averages 26 mpg which is pretty good for a full size car with a V8. The woman even threw in a set of 4 snow tires that only had one season on them. I love not having car payments!

Yes this is true I have a eclipse 01 over 100k miles no problems what so ever.

Dave M Do you really get 26 mpg? Because if you do I’m getting one too.

You can make that working weekends bro of course depending on location

@@musclenpips_8486 $2000/mo only on weekends calculates to $250 each Saturday/Sunday which is $20/hr working 12 hrs each of those days year round. Idk about you but I would get burned out on that side hustle schedule very quickly 🤮🥵
