    First, we’re talking about buying a vehicle that someone else has taken the depreciation hit on, not a brand new vehicle.

    Second, nobody has claimed this will beat a 401k

    Third, it’s a shitpost on the Internet. Stop taking everything so seriously.

          See the benefit to hanging out in your garage wrenching on old trucks is that guy wont be there talking about how a Roth IRA would be a far better investment.

            It’s incredible, there is no statement, no matter how ridiculous, that someone won’t take seriously on this platform.

              Also today I went out and bought an old truck. Lol.

              My wife and I have to move in a few months into our new place, then there will be the ikea trips, trips to the dump and landscaping to do so I ran some numbers.

              If I rent a pickup 1 weekend a month for 12 months that will cost me $2880 so I bought a $2500 high mile but well serviced truck with registration till december. No ball ache of booking it, going and collecting or returning it. I can get it filthy, scratch it… doesnt matter. Provided it doesnt explode, I am financially ahead.
