Did your truck cost more than the house you live in now

Ahhh - what does this have to do with *Fifth Wheels"?

Silly question, but I'll answer anyway - the first house in So. CA the DW and I purchased in 1971 (about 1600 sq ft) cost a whopping twenty two thousand dollars.

It was about a year old, the owner was being transferred to MN, so
he carried a $2K second and I pd him $500 cash (which I got with my credit card) and financed the remainder.

That same house sold recently for close to a mil.

The house I live in now, I purchased in 1987 for $217 thousand, which is about two miles from my first house.

The homes on my street sell for around a mil also - depending on the model, sq ft, etc.

In 1985 I bought a 1T Ferd crew cab diesel - which was WAY less than
the house I bought 2 years later in 1987.

But to answer your Q - *NO* my 2005 truck cost WAY less than the house I live in now (even in 2005), and it sure hasn't appreciated in value like the house..:R

BTW - couldn't afford to buy my own house now, wish I had bought two "back when" - - but could still afford a new truck (if I wanted one).

So there ya have it..:W
