I can't even imagine adding the payments of a new truck to my budget, it's no wonder the economy is slowwing down, nobody can afford to do much but just get by.
Like the 'rich folks' don't pay any income taxes, or SS taxes or have any deductions from our paychecks... Not more than the 60% reduction off the gross that I see anyway.
One of the great burdens during retirement is living on a fixed income, and watch property taxes go up, and up, and up... To the point that you can't keep your home any longer.
SIGH... I guess I'll retire to a wigwam in Idaho somewhere.... with coal heat..
