The new Ford 150 looks like a super truck. My SIL got one through the company,

Can’t afford to buy new but would love to have one


I may change my mind when I start seriously looking.

A new vehicle every 3-4 years is one unnecessary
luxury I still afford myself though.

And here I thought every 10-12 years was extravagant!

Well, it sorta sinks in when I realize that even a gas
powered truck today costs almost twice what our first
house cost when I left the Navy.

I sold my first house, in Tampa, for $12,500. And it was a decent sized three
bedroom.

My first new car, a 1964 Chevy Impala SS 4 speed, 300 hp 327, cost me $3371
out the door in September of 1963. My first house in 1969 costs $25,000 3
bedroom in pleasant Hill, CA. My last truck cost $5900 for the sales tax
and registration.
