Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? (lemmy.world)

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.

Yeah, It doesn't take long for equipment to pay itself off compared to renting.
