I feel obligated to say the same. It probably won’t do any good but at least give him the advice. 10k invested from age 20 to 60 at 12% is about $930,000. Add to it over time and he won’t have to work his whole life like most of us.






I have suggested that very thing and he is thinking about it.
good advice for a young man, if he's paying less than half price. But especially for older men there's alot bigger reasons to buy new lately. say you do pay half the price then if your lucky you got a truck with 100k miles. trucks on average last 200k miles. so you paid half the price to drive a truck on the worst half of it's life. then you get to repairs which is mostly warrenty on the first half of it's life. And then there's making sure you have something solid to get you to work. And yeah the fairy tale that it's a toyota so it's probably gonna last 400k is a myth. toyotas are very expensive parts and a quick google search showed that less than 4% of toyota tundras go over 200,000. thats the real numbers. so rolling the dice paying half the price to drive the worst, wobbly worn out miles may not be the best for everyone.
