As the average car payments climb ever higher, more consumers are finding themselves dreading that monthly bill. One woman got so fed up with the $1,000 her ride cost her each month that she simply let it get repossessed.

Her husband was paying roughly the same on a brand new Chevrolet Silverado. They decided the arithmetic had stopped making sense and let both vehicles go back to the lender. She replaced hers with a 2008 Toyota Corolla she bought outright for $2,000.
Bryant, whose channel is mostly given over to her weight-loss journey and the business built around it, explained her decision in a recent TikTok.
"I don't know if I'm going through something mentally, but this past year I just stopped giving a [expletive]," she says.
