Why'd that suck so much? As a software dev couldn't you just pay it off a month or two later?
That would depend on what car they bought.
I’m not sure what software devs make $15 grand a month in disposable income 2 years into their career, but I certainly was not one of them.
I dunno about you but my first car was when I was 16 working at Tim Hortons for minimum wage, long before I had a software developer salary...
