fwiw I actually think you're both trying to argue from the same side.

I’m confused about what your point is?

You said trucks cost 50k these days.

Some trucks do. A lot don’t.

Your statement: "As if all these used vehicles just magically appear out of thin air"

I provide proof to refute your statement

Your response: "Way to completely miss the point"

Where is this lot going to be relative to his job? Will it be somewhere with good schools, or will he need to move again when it comes time to have a family? Will it be in a "decent" location?

Well the stupidity of your posts is starting to make sense at least.

Used vehicle values have zero to do with what a new vehicle costs. Using your logic, trucks cost $5k because I can go find some rundown pos that I can pay $5k for. Homes are still under $100k because I can go find some rundown pos that sells for $100k.

What L do I take for you failing to understand that someone has to buy new vehicles at these prices for used vehicles to be available to buy?

Probably a considerable commute.

Probably move…like many people do when they have a family, oershaps even further from the job.

Depends on what you consider decent. I’ve learned that as an older Gen X who successfully raised two kids (mostly), came from a poor background (mill workers), first Gen college grad…that I had it easy but at the same time where I live and how is “beneath” most millennials in this thread.

There are new trucks under 50k too retard. The dealer near me has nearly 150 brand new F150s prices below 50k.

Oatmeal prices didn't increase with everything else? Interesting.

So I guess your original contribution to this thread was worthless. Great talk.

Oh I know what you're trying to say, you're just doing a really really poor job of communicating it.

It’s all micro solutions to macro problems on the OT

new house price to average income ratio was about 3.7 in ‘78

Now it’s 6.25

But it’s definitely new cellphones and unrealistic expectations that are the problem

TO be honest, the purchasing decisions of the OT don't really have much to do with anything, so you even bringing up the OT being ok with buying $50k trucks has frick all to do with anything.
