  • How even savvy spenders lose money on cars
    Jun 17 2026

    Whatever your preferences, and whether you like it or not, what you drive tells the world about who you are.

    Maybe you value speed over comfort or require an SUV the size of a small school bus… Well, regardless of your needs, chances are you’ve made a few mistakes when purchasing your car.

    Katie Byrne is joined by Alpha Wealth’s Nick Charalambous to discuss why even smart people lose money on cars – and why focusing on getting “bang for your buck” should never mean driving a banger.
