Buying 70,80,90,k trucks or SUVs
Is NOT living within your means.
The Rich put their money to work.
They buy assets that appreciate in value, borrow AGAINST those assets. Now you have a loan and IF you borrow to invest the interest is tax deductible.
Too many out there want every toy in the book....so they look rich but their bank accounts are empty.
Then when they hit retirement age they are screwed.
Their standard of living drops to that of someone living on the poverty line.
STOP buying liabilities that depreciate in value....
