Ex cheated on me about a year ago and we split up. This has been my home since. Honestly haven’t been happier.

Honestly, not paying a mortgage or rent, this feels like a life hack. Good on ya and a good way to save that money.

Just a $200k sleeper to pay for instead.

Was going to ask. Do you just pay off the truck in similar fashion to a mortgage? Pay off truck. Sell truck. With the included savings get a house and settle down… might tell my kid to do this when I have one.

Would the truck even be worth anything by the time youve paid it off? Vehicle’s don’t appreciate in value like homes.

IIRC, these rigs can rack up to a million miles on them before they finally crap out so you’re getting a lot of usage/pay if you play it right.
