Do you have a car payment?

Haven't had a car payment since '09. I drive cheap shit that I built and I can maintain easily. I can afford to do it differently but that's the plan for now.
I don't like any type of payment, a minimalist mentality has taken hold as I've gotten older. I consider my options daily and probably should buy a new truck this year, but I won't. It's just easier to talk myself out of it these days and my wallet appriciates it.

the longer you wait, the cheaper that 2016 is going to get!
I almost bought a 6.7 Ford recently, but the way things have been going, I may be waiting until the 2017's drop in hopes that prices will take a little dip
Sometimes i really do "feel like i'm not keeping up with the Jones'es" when i see folks in my neighborhood driving around in brand new cars, kids driving in brand new mustangs, and i know the average household income of my city and it's head scratching. I have some debt from when i was unemployed, and all my money is seemingly tied up in this house, but still, i seem to be doing "okay" but sill severely stress out about money.
I have a few friends my age (early 30s) with equal or worse paying jobs, house payments, and driving new cars, diesel trucks, buying boats, having kids ($$$) and the only ones who i know who are as careful with their spending as I am are SlowLX and his wife.
The only thing i can think of is massive, massive debt, but of course when you talk to people (like here) everyone is a cash only multimillionaire perfect investment portfolio dave ramsey follower...
