[@maxwellspeedwell2585]

“That lady is in the financial situation she deserves and wants.” True. Then again, maybe we all are, no matter how good, or desperate our situation. I couldn’t sleep knowing I had just spent $58,000 for a PICKUP TRUCK!!! I would have preferred to INVEST that $58,000 in appreciating assets (single family 3-2) and sheltered a good portion of my taxable income while generating a spare monthly net income $4,000. An extra $4,000 monthly is a lot to me because I track everything, and very closely monitor my expenses. If a person blows through an extra $4,000 month (like I used to do) like it’s wet tissue, then an extra $4,000/mo. Won’t help at all.

That’s a big point…..RV is a big depreciating asset. Some people are choosing RV lifestyle to avoid rent or mortgage, but owning a home brings far more future value.

Caller might not know this but you can hire people to tow your RV place to place for 200 to 300 dollars each time. They're professionals with fifth wheel equipments and all that stuff. If you're parked at a spot and only 1 person is working, you would be better off selling the 56k truck, have just 1 truck, and hire professional to tow the RV if you need to move. That cuts down your monthly payment to about $1200 a month. RV will still depreciate in price so keep that in mind.

​@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 It doesn't matter. She's losing probably around 7-8% in depreciation and probably around 7% average both the car and RV in interest assuming she has great credit. On 100k loan she's sitting at around 15-16k losses. She could save for a short period of time and buy an RV for under 10k and spend 20k repairing it and still only sold it for 10k and STILL would come out on top in only one year of ownership. Understand that? She could be upside down 2x on her budget RV purchase and would still be financially better off in a single year. In no metric did she make the better financial decision. She's actually no better off because she's losing nearly the same amount of money in depreciation and interest vs her rent. At least with rent she'd be in a fucking house and not in debt which has inherit risk.

Financial education needs to be a requirement before anybody graduates high school

No, just earn more money than you can spend. In 1980, I went overseas as an engineer, $100K/yr and all expenses paid. I retired many years ago, My pension is more money than I can spend.

​@aolvaar8792 earn more than you spend is common sense to us. How prevalent is common sense anymore? lol. At least make them take a class, they'll have to anyway when they file bankruptcy.

@@Elizabeth_lowkeyluxuries I read of a young woman that spent $200K, for a degree in English at a private upstate NY university. She did so to teach 4th Grade. $43K.

$58,000 is not a great deal on a truck. That's ridiculous.

[@BrianW211]

Bought depreciating RV while they had credit card debt. Bought depreciating truck while they had RV debt and credit card debt. Worried about throwing money away on rent but not worried about throwing money away on interest and depreciation. They're renting space for the RV, so they don't move it often enough to need to own the huge vehicle required to move the RV. She's a real estate broker but not working, so they don't even need 2 vehicles let alone 2 trucks. We don't really understand her mindset until the end where she talks about having an extra $3K/month after the credit cards are paid off. She's a real estate broker and the industry is bound to debt and buying the maximum amount that you can afford the payments for. All she understands is cash flow and she's going to keep her cash flow as small as possible until she dies.

[@Triquetra15]

Good point on her understanding cash flows. That is the only way to make sense of her decisions(to a point). I can get what she is saying about it being cheaper somehow(I don’t know what rent and RV expenses are in her area). However, I wonder if she takes into account the term of the loan, the depreciation, and the lot rent. Not to mention the truck is insane. She’s going to be tied to her loans and they almost certainly will go underwater. Then if they are able to purchase a house win the next few years the cost of her decisions will likely become more apparent when they sell these “assets” or continue the payments on them in addition to their mortgage.

One of the best moves by the automakers was the elevate the old "pick 'em up truck" into a luxury vehicle. It's a rolling status symbol that many will gladly go into debt for that might have a empty eight foot box in the back.

[@schuylergeery-zink1923]

Muhr Truuuuuuck I live in a small town in the Midwest. We have a 2003 Honda CRV and 2006 Toyota Prius for commuting. It’s crazy the payments and gas expense coming from our neighbors. Some of them have multiple trucks! A buddy of mine lives in a huge house in the suburbs of the city near us and has a big ol truck. 🛻 I showed him a pic of our new house, a very small 1,100 sq ft with a wood burning stove and he was jealous 😭 I mean I don’t envy him. A house is security, not a status symbol.

[@sanniepstein4835]

Pickups with standard shifts became unavailable long before cars went auto-only. The modern truck is a rolling rest home.
