This is something I think about a lot. Not because I don't make good money and my investments have done well, but I know a truck is going to be used and used up, and after 15 years be garbage. But what is time and life if you don't do something with it? Travel and have adventures? It's nice to say, a 20-year old Honda Civic gets you to the Maul most of the time, but what if you care about things besides driving to SuperDuper Wally World, your office and the Maul? I guess an old clunker works, and I hate the message spending all that money on a SuperDuty sends, though I also know the cost of a SuperDuty really is only a few months of Capital Gains the way the market grew last year. But what if I invested that extra $20k or $40k and got an old clunker? Questions on my mind. Truth is it probably doesn't matter that much, as while it will dip my cash account for now, it won't impact my retirement or investing stragety nor the income I have coming in. Still I'm conflicted.
