Preview โ€” The Goal

๐ŸŽฏ The Goal: A brand-new car sheds up to 20% of its value the first year and 40-50% by year five โ€” the steepest, most predictable wealth destruction most people ever voluntarily sign up for. The play: let the first owner absorb that cliff, and buy the SAME car at 3-4 years old for roughly half price with most of its reliable life still ahead. Same car. Half the hit. That's the whole trick โ€” the rest is knowing how to execute it.
