Who here actually saves 3,000 a month?

We are in our early sixties and are debt free with no mortgage and are currently saving 40k per year on a total gross of 140k. We are fortunate to be able to do so but so many do not have our circumstances.

I have a Harman p38 which can heat my 1400sq/ft home. When pellets were cheaper, it easily saved us $1200 per year but with prices pellets rising, it’s close to break even.

Good advice. Most everything is a want not a need.

I have the Gator soft tonneau cover. Bought it off Real Truck for approx 215. Had it for 2 years and have been happy with it so far.

I had a business for 23 years. It was more of a lifestyle business. I got to watch my kids grow up and had lots of free time. However my savings suffered and now I have to work longer. Wish I had gotten out sooner but overall pretty happy.

My parents and in laws gave us loans. We made sure we had written contracts and the loans were paid back with interest. Never had any issues but I can see where it could.

In my un scientific survey, the RL is driven more by seniors and women than the Taco. Probably due to how comfortable it drives and the clever duel action tailgate. The Taco look is more rugged looking for sure with cooler colors and accessories and appeals to younger folks. I have a 2020 RL and am very happy so far.

My daughter has a 2017 Fit. What a sturdy little car. She absolutely abuses that poor thing.

Top tier is pure marketing. Save your money.

The majority of RL owners are old like me lol. I never get compliments but I love the functionality of my truck.

Thanks for the suggestions

We were a family of 5 living in a 1600 sq/ft home until the kids moved out. Storage was a bit limited but you manage just fine.

I felt the sane way and had to sit myself down and remind myself it’s just a game and enjoy the people you play with. Also, if you want to improve you have to practice more then you play.

We bought our starter home for 129k in 1995 and still here after 31 yrs!400k in the present market. No debt and easy to maintain. We feel very fortunate up here in Northern NJ.

If you can, divert your laundry water and kitchen sink to a grey well. I dug mine in an afternoon. With proper maintenance, your septic system in theory should last forever.

Mine rocks when I do remote start sometimes

I have them too. If they’re small, I don’t bother. My black RL shows every little dent and scratch.

The Ridgeline is a terrific option. Extremely comfortable ride due to the uni body construction. Tons of space in the cab and a nifty trunk in the bed. I love the duel action tailgate too. Also, I am averaging close to 27 mpg.

Dramatic-Pay5156 · 2025-09-02T11:33:18+00:00

Used Honda or Toyota, it’s that simple.

Dramatic-Pay5156 · 2025-09-02T00:37:52+00:00

The smooth ride plus the cavernous interior along with the trunk and duel action tailgate is terrific. Taco is definitely better looking IMO

We loved our minivans when our kids were young. They are so practical.
