Why do soliders buy high interest cars?

I was taught to know the difference between a necessity and a luxury. Unfortunately, many parents do not teach delayed gratification. One cannot do without the necessities and one should get some of life's luxuries WHEN ONE CAN PAY CASH for the difference in price.

I also learned that my identity is not determined by what I have, but by what I do. Would you rather be friends with an ass that has all the finest things, or a good person that lives within his means?

Most soldiers that purchase those kinds of cars are first time buyer and have never purchased anything like that. All they know is that they want a car and what they like. No one has ever told them the ins and outs of car purchase. They need to be schooled because no one ever took them time. So when your soldier say they want to purchase a car talk to them about interest rates and how or what to look for during car buying. They don't know, you had to be taught.

Probably for the same reasons they marry a stripper. I met my wife when I was in, but was 80 miles away on a river bank fishing. I am still married to the same woman today! For 27 years and still fish and hunt together.
