This mostly tells me tech jobs are just not that great anymore. Every cert under the sun for tier 1 that payed so small it took awhile to be able to buy a cheap car. Tech became known because you could grab an entry level with just a bit of tech know how or a cert and could quickly move to better pay with a littler experience or credentials.

Buying a car after just a month doesn't sound bad

I guess if he bought it outright but I assume he financed. Maybe if he just moved to the local it would make sense.

You assume a lot. My colleague bought a $400 beater the second he got the first paycheck. You don't have to go for new / barely used, you can always sell it off or just drive it to the scrapyard.

Last time I saw a car that can start for hundreds of dollars was last millenium.
