Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning American Express Stock In The Last 20 Years

A Reddit user with just a year left on their car loan asked a simple but revealing question: &#8220;What's the longest you've owned a vehicle without a payment post-financing?&#8221;&nbsp;
The post, shared to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/retirement/comments/1mbgal8/can_i_hear_from_those_not_financially_secure/">r/MiddleClassFinance</a>, quickly exploded with responses—many of them pushing back hard against the idea that a car payment is just a fact of life.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Debt-Free Driving Club Is Bigger Than You Think</h2>
The original poster explained they drive a 2016 subcompact SUV with 131,000 miles and are looking forward to paying off the $460-per-month loan. But people around them keep suggesting they trade it in for something new. &#8220;Their logic is &#8216;you'll always have a car payment aside from a few months to a year of your life at a time,'&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;I don't want to believe this.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">invest today for just $0.30/share.</a></li>
<li>Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora &amp; MGM—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Just $0.63 Before NASDAQ Launch</a></li>
</ul>
Turns out, most commenters don't either.
&#8220;Who's telling you this?&#8221; one person replied. &#8220;I'm in my mid-forties and only on my second car in my entire life. I pay cash and run them until the wheels fall off.&#8221;
Another added, &#8220;Car payments are a plague on the middle class.&#8221;
A common theme emerged: many Redditors have avoided payments for years, sometimes decades, and they strongly encourage others to do the same. One person said they haven't had a car payment since 2007, and another bragged about 21 years payment-free.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Repairs Vs. Payments</h2>
People emphasized that even when repairs come up, they're often still cheaper than starting a new loan.
&#8220;Repairs are part of life. My current car has 190K miles on it and repairs certainly have been more frequent, probably about $1,000-$1,500 per year,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;That <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44752907/dave-ramsey-says-if-you-want-to-know-what-driving-a-new-car-really-costs-open-your-car-window-once-a-week-and-toss-out-a-100-bill">pales in comparison</a> to a probably minimum $300-400/month car payment, plus increased insurance and registration costs and depreciation.&#8221;
Others pointed out that learning basic maintenance can help a car last much longer without needing a mechanic for everything.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Keep The Car, Pay Yourself</h2>
Many offered the same advice: keep driving the car and bank the monthly payment instead.
&#8220;You've already built your lifestyle around that car payment,&#8221; one commenter said. &#8220;So don't change that when the loan ends—just direct the payment to a car savings account.&#8221;
Several people claimed to have saved tens of thousands of dollars doing just that. One person calculated they had saved $30,000 over five years, which grew to about $45,000 after investing it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Status, Marketing And Pressure</h2>
Many pointed out how marketing and social pressure make people think they need a new car.
&#8220;It's a weird sentiment that people have,&#8221; one commenter said. &#8220;They feel like they need to upgrade cars like they upgrade their phone every year.&#8221;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">Bezos' Favorite Real Estate Platform Launches A Way To Ride The Ongoing Private Credit Boom</a>
Another recalled coworkers who judged them for driving an older car. Most of them later complained about BMW repair bills or being upside down on their loan. Eventually, they started &#8220;seeing the light.&#8221;
A few people defended having more than one vehicle per household, citing convenience, family needs or job-related demands. But even those voices often admitted they preferred to avoid payments when possible.
Commenters were nearly unanimous that trading in a nearly paid-off car for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45545468/average-new-car-loan-payment-is-750-and-costs-are-rising-suze-orman-urges-families-to-consider-if-they-could-get-by-with-one-less-car">new loan</a> just to avoid repairs is financially backward.
&#8220;These people in your ear are destined to stay poor and in the middle class forever,&#8221; one wrote. &#8220;Constant car loans are one of the biggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41595894/1-in-4-americans-are-now-trapped-in-upside-down-car-loans-heres-how-much-they-owe-as-debt-reache">drains on middle-class wealth</a> there is.&#8221;
In short, the thread became a massive vote of confidence in long-term car ownership, deferred gratification, and resisting peer pressure.&nbsp;

ABBV

Expert Outlook: AbbVie Through The Eyes Of 4 Analysts

In the current session, Reliance Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RS#NYSE">RS</a>) is trading at $283.43, after a 2.31% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 12.46%, and in the past year, by 0.20%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1754085727_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Reliance P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 29.88 in the Metals &amp; Mining industry, Reliance Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 21.01. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1754085727_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
