Wife has been a SAHM for close to 20 years. Before that she worked some book keeping and secretary type jobs. Two of the kids are over 18, one moved out several years ago and we have a 13 yo. I'm tired of working my ass off all the time. I make okay money but we've never had extra money and still have debt. She's only 45 and seems to think we're retiring soon or something. Yeah there's no retirement account except my old 401k with like 25k in it. I work from home a lot and it makes my seeth to see her waste an entire day sleeping till noon and scrolling. Hard part is she's a good mom, always dinner made but often leftovers which is fine so it's not like she's cooking every day. She's a smart person that needs to get the eff out of this house and do adult things, talk to grown ups, make a friend, have a drink after work idk. My job is pretty flexible although a grind but I own my own business and can schedule what I want. I am a good cook too and do things like my own laundry, I'm not a "just work" guy. Kids all do their own laundry and can clean as well. She has so much free time it's insane. I've offered for her to go to community college, find anything she likes to do, I just want her out of the house and making a little money, like $1000 a month would be awesome. This has been a vent post.

So I test drove a 2024 yesterday at a Toyota dealer, (in the US, in TN) they had 2 on lot both about 50k miles. One is a two tone sport and one is a limited. Both are $40k. I've not bought a car in a while is this just what they cost or is this BS?
