Debt Free In 30

There are two major purchases we make in our life that we typically use debt to purchase. The first (no surprise here) is our home, and the second is our car. But can car loans lead to insolvency? Believe it or not, yes car loans can lead to insolvency. As cars are getting more sophisticated and fitted with new gadgets and features, which means they're also getting more expensive. You're no longer buying just a car, you're buying a driving computer.
