I think he said his job was as a security guard, no need for a truck for that job and even if he owes more on his house then it is worth letting it get foreclosed on is still an option then rent a house or an apartment closer to work and you are debt free and saving money.
AAA did a cost brake down a while back and figured that for a brand new SUV or truck that your cost per mile was up just over $1 per mile, I think that people get in situations where all their money is being spent on their vehicle because they can't do math, if you had to put $1 bills in to a slot in your dash for every mile you drove you would rethink all of those little trips you take, you would rethink your whole driving pattern!
I'll have to pull out my gas log note book, but after putting down some figures I think my cost per mile is closer to 10 cents, not 20 cents per mile and I figure my car should last me another 10 years before it wears out.
