Except me - all my cars paid spondoolies up front, cheapy prepaid phone

I've bought 2x new cars with cash I saved up from working (and doing dodgy stuff lol)
Mind you the NAB was trying to throw credit cards at me when I was on $7.05/hour as a first year apprentice.
Who is worse, the kid to falls for credit hook line and sucker or the bank dangling the carrot?

My first car was $18K - paid for it in cash.
My second car was $26K - paid for it in cash
I'm on car 11, all paid for with cash - I was rocking a new car 6 months before I even had a drivers license
Started working at 15, had a new car by 17
The jokes on me though probably could have had a house and someone renting it by now if I didn't have 11 cars in 10 years
