Daycare costs are insane.

Normally, I'd be getting close to replacing my 8 year old truck. I'm not even starting to consider it yet. I hope I can get 15 years out of it at this point

Agreed. A lot of this math isn’t adding up. Can’t spend a weekend at a lake house while bringing home $200k+. Nah
Again I didn't say I can't. I said we aren't because prices are insane.

The math and explanation was directed towards Waydown South's post and his math, not yours.
But if your numbers are the same as the ones he posted, then I don't see how $6K cash discretionary money after bills paid per month wouldn't be sufficient to live without feeling broke all the time.

absolutely.
Gave up dip because of the cost. Didn't have to. Just couldn't warrant $3,000 a year for tobacco anymore.

It’s a weird way for self validation for being a cheap arse. See it on this site all the time. They desperately want to be viewed as “poor” for whatever reason while putting $50k into their 401(k) and having a half million dollar mortgage.
It’s odd behavior

Absolutely driving mine until the wheels fall off. When the new version of my truck costs $65k at supposedly the same trim level, and is still infinitely less reliable (looking at you Toyota and your turbocharged 4 and 6 cylinders)... I'm now on a mission to hit half a million in miles.
I gave up caring what my vehicle says about me and my status a few years ago, and now with these insane prices and less reliable engines dictated by the government I'm happy I did.
Maybe if the market ever resets and Toyota ever decides to bring back the naturally aspirated V6 and V8, I'll then splurge on a new car or truck. But as it stands right now, the value for the dollar isn't there for anyone that isn't just chasing a status symbol. And that goes for most makes and models.
