carbroke

You spend all of your money on a shiny new vehicle with high cost and high payments, so you don't have money for anything else.
You are carbroke.
Can also apply with other items of high value that are unnecessarily expensive and take a large portion of one's income to acquire/maintain.

Marc got that new car. He pays too much.
He's hungry now though, 'cause he's carbroke.
