The lady said she suggested that they downgrade their car since they were always broke while paying for the Mercedes GLC. The husband insisted that they get a Mercedes because he didn't want to be laughed at if he were to downgrade. He wanted a Mercedes GLB that was priced at R1.2 million. Dr Celiwe revealed that her husband was unemployed so she ended up paying R23k per month including insurance on a car in a single-income household. The TikToker advised young women not to get a luxury car for their first car.

"Advice to ladies, if you love your man and he is not working, buy him a van or taxi to hustle with. If he is not interested in them, then divorce him because that's a slay queen that doesn't want to work."
Risks of financing a partner’s car
Taking out a loan to finance a car for your partner can be a risky financial decision, potentially damaging your credit and creating financial strain if repayments aren't made. An expert says, it's important to assess your financial situation and whether you can comfortably afford the loan repayments, especially if the car is registered in your name.
Before committing, consider the long-term impact on your finances. If your partner fails to make payments, you’ll be responsible, which could lead to missed payments, a lower credit score, and even repossession. It’s also important to have a clear agreement on responsibility for repayments. If you’re not financially secure, explore alternatives like saving for a down payment or considering a more affordable vehicle.
