Suggesting that a 74 year old retiree save $600/month for five years so he can buy a 2022 pickup seems a little strange to me.
Suggesting that a retiree has to finance a truck means that retiree didn't do enough financial planning before he retired.
Better option is to buy a 2 year old truck with cash if that's the financial situation.
How do you know that?
Maybe his financial planning included making sure he had $600 a month to finance a new truck with. My retirement plan includes a truck payment, every month, until I die. I don't feel like dealing with someone else's 2 year old lemon when I can drive new, right off the lot.
