You could have just get the money in low-risk investments and/or savings and withdrawn the money if you lost your job to pay the higher car payments...and any other bills mind you.

Think about it...what would you rather have if you lost your job:

1. $30k more in the bank, with the ability to pay ANY debts/expenses with it, including your higher car payment.

Or 2. A lower car payment.

No brainer.
Couldn't have said it better myself

It's all about priorities. You can live in someone's basement and drive (lease) 150k Porsche while making "average" salary.

Drink less beer. It's not only healthier, but surprisingly leaves way more money in your bank account every week.

The old saying is if you have to ask then you can't afford it.
