Same, but no wife, I'm only 56 now, all 5 kids are grown already. Also, already paid for and sold the house. I will work 16 more years.

I knew diesels kept their value but thats insane. Hate to say it but the f150 definitely wont be anywhere near that.

if you have to make payments on the deal and find its in your comfort zone, do the deal.
If its something you want now, don't wait. Might not be here tomorrow.

These are the type of financial mistakes that will haunt you for a long, long time. Financial freedom comes through making wise decisions and a bit of luck. You can’t always control the luck but you can control your financial decisions.

If you can’t control yourself here, at least get an extended warranty because you’ll own this truck a long time. Also get a Gap policy. Bad things will happen if you wreck it.

Sorry to be be tough on you, but.......

My wife and I won't even consider a purchase if we can't pay at least 20% plus the tax, title and license fees!

I would think that would be inline with your 25% on most purchases.

Many years ago we got tired of buying something, keeping it 2 or 3 years, and it being worth less than we owed on it.

Once we traded our '99 Explorer in on a 2004 Honda Accord LX and took a $500.00 loss on te deal we have never been in that situation since.

Hey KWS: Would you care to share where you're earning that 12%? (Seriously).

I can't remember the last time I saw someone so pissed. I have been laughing at this for the last hour.
