Very little of the cost in that comic is external. People seem to ignore what owning a car costs

i'm currently living on sweden's basic "i literally have no other option" welfare which is ~$450 per month, and through the arcane magic of NOT FUCKING SPENDING MY MONEY ON USELESS SHIT i'm able to quite easily have 50€ to spare at the end of the month while living comfortably.

it's existentially horrifying how bad the vast majority of people are with money.
