I shoulda sold the diesel pickup when prices were highest. Just can't part with her yet.

I financed the Acura not because I needed to, but because a 2.5% loan is less than inflation and the cash left in my pocket can earn ~7% in the stock market. I took out the longest loan I could at that interest rate. Oh, and it was under mom's name because I was simultaneously purchasing a home and needed my income to look sufficient. Bought a 3 bed, 2.5 bath house on a $39k income.
