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.

I'm paying for 13,500 miles per year and you can choose what you want. Paying for miles upfront is cheaper than on the backend. Of course if I don't use all the miles I'm paying for what I didn't use.

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.
Better option is to buy a 2 year old truck with cash if that's the financial situation.
