Parents buy 18-year-old daughter a $65K Jeep after originally agreeing to pay 25K-30K, befuddles their 27-year-old son who previously offered $5K for car payments: 'The 5k won't even last the summer'

If there is one thing people love wasting money on, it's expensive cars. I come from a town where people would buy $70K vehicles for themselves but wouldn't pay for their kid's college education. I don't understand why, if you had the ability, you would sink money into something constantly losing value rather than something as invaluable as education. Maybe this is just because I haven't driven regularly in about six years, but I also can't wrap my head around paying such an excessive amount of money on something that simply gets you from point A to point B and back. I don't think you should be foolish and buy a $500 car from some guy on Facebook Marketplace, but there's got to be a better option than buying new expensive cars for every family member. Looking cool and high-status isn't worth anything if you don't have the funds to back it up.

The responsible 27-year-old son of a pair of overspenders recently got himself into a conundrum. He offered to give his younger sister $5K for car payments to get her through college. However, instead of getting her a car she could finish paying off herself, his parents got her a $65K Jeep.
