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

My house was 83k in 1981, now well over 1 million.

Our new F250 diesel cost less than 1/20th the value of our house.

Actually it did but it was a "fixer-upper" & when we got finished the 1st time could have bought at least 3 or more of the 2012 I drive. Problem is you never get done even after 18 years, lots of dollars down a money pit.

No

Our printing press money buys less than it used to...

NO. NAC

No, current truck was only 23K. Looked at a new truck and then financing. I don't want another house payment. 700 - 800 monthly.

No, not even close but it did cost more than my first house in the 1980's at around $65k... Scary thought.

No... but, I bought my truck in 2003. :C

Just read an article where the new fully loaded 2500HD/3500 series
of each flavor , (depending on trim levels), MSRP from $60,000.00 - $70,000.00.
(wait for it ... "nobody pays MSRP"...there, said it
before the usual suspects). It has now surpassed the point of
"justifiable". As such, my goal, milk my truck along until the
20 year point, and then, re-evaluate my love affair with towing
heavy RV's quickly up the mountain grade.

As I move closer and closer to "real" retirement the latest / greatest
Ram/Ford/Chevy moves to the point of being made with unobtainminium.

It is really hard to expect the Princess to watch the expenses when I'm eye-balling
a $70k truck. :S

ps...I thought 40k was too much 03'...silly boy.

Yes. House price (1979) was $25,500.... Put more than that as a down payment with my trade, and cash on current truck.....
