Which is why I drive a 2015 Lexus GX 460

Bought it with 90,000 miles. Now has 155,000. Zero repairs. Just maintenance. Of the 65,000 miles, 40,000 have been reimbursed at an average of $0.65 or $42,250. I paid $22,500 for the vehicle. Even with gas, tires, oil changes, I’m way positive. My first marriage ended because I couldn’t earn enough to keep up with my wife’s spending. Among other reasons. Since then I’ve paid off $48,000 in credit card debt, college tuition for 2 kids, and currently have a net worth around $1.5 million. My amazing wife has done the same, so we are around $3 million combined. With 5 more years of earning until retirement. Sheesh.

On the down side, you'll have to pay a lot in taxes on your investments...

Almost all my investments are in our retirement accounts, so the taxes are

Had the same Silverado from 2003 to 2025. Honorably retired it last year

Unlike the current twin turbo V6.

So you’re telling me I should ask for my $75M back?**

It’s a state of mind. The CEO of the fortune 100 company drove a 12 yr old

The millionaires I know buy a new car once every 5 or 6 years and pay cash.
