I read just yesterday that the current average new car payment is ~$720/mo., which is astonishing to frugal ol' me. I could never imagine paying that much a month, let alone the ones on the high side that have pushed the average up that high. But, I have friends and acquaintances who have payments for well over $1,000 a month and it almost makes me physically ill to think about having that kind of payment. Today's world is insane to me.
