I went from having enough cash to buy a brand new camper 2 years ago to being almost $20,000 short. I still have the cash, but the camper prices ran away. I guess I don't get to play anymore. Everybody got rich but me.
Ummm, ok. Shoulda bought one 2 years ago? Not that anyone predicted the massive inflation at the onset of the Scamdemic, but no one would predict in general that the prices would go down either.
Good news is, if you wait another year, prices should be somewhere between back in line and tanked. (Although this fuel price thing is looking like, hopefully short lived and a much stronger economy behind it than the last time this happened with fuel prices.)
You were good with not having a camper the last 2 years....god knows why, since the best thing to do during the Rona was get the heck outta dodge! So what says you can't wait another year? Only increases your procrastination by 33%.
It's a good time to hold onto your cash. Me thinks your buying power will be greater before too long.
In the mean time if you don't want to have an asset that depreciates even faster than normal, buy a dumpy old used camper that is functional and get 'er dun!
