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

My truck cost more then both houses that I have owned put together. You can also add my first 2 new vehicles in that and still can't reach the cost of my truck. But again both were bought in the 70's.
But I purchased my first house in 1975. Second house we purchased in 1978.

Yeah, but I got a good deal on the 5th wheel at $4k and the truck at $6k (both used).

But yes, new trucks are silly expensive.

I once paid more for a car than the house I was living in and it really bothered me and I said I would never buy another vehicle that was worth more than my house. I fixed that problem for a while 12 years ago. I built a more expensive house. LOL! I don't see me buying a vehicle worth $300,000 for a few more years.

Current truck bought used for less than first house price in 1985.

I do not see me buying a new truck, a new F250 diesel King Ranch lists for over 70,000, I could afford one but I see spending that as stupid.

I will rebuild what I have until parts are not available, by then I will be too old to need it anymore.

Current house worth a LOT more than the first and worth more than all the new trucks I could use for the rest of my life. Got lucky and bought waterfront coastal property at the right time for the right price.

Not even close....

No, the house cost more, it is new as a result of a wildfire in 2011. But at least insurance paid for most of the house cost.

one should understand inflation.

Absolutely!!! Much as I hate to admit it, my parks really aren't more valuable than the entire state of Alaska, though I paid more for the parks than the US paid for Alaska. (ref: Seward's Folly)

No, not even close, and I built the house in 99

Nope. 1st house was $70k in 1982.

Don't think I will spend that much for my next truck either.
