I’ve owned 2 Tacoma’s in 27 years, both bought new, almost 1/2 million miles between ‘em. Just sold my ‘08 and bought a new 4-Runner.
We’re both mid-60’s did the 401 thing and had a 23 year employer that matched to 17%. Yay!
We shop thrift stores and Goodwill for clothes, cook almost all our meals and live quite frugally.
That said when I got my dive license around 2000 I bought myself a used Rolex Sub and absolutely love it. The bands are kinda expensive to replace and a nice watch is the only upscale thing I own. Except for our ‘87 3.2.
My garage and cellar are a literal hardware store / fab / electrical / electronics superstore. Having grown up in rural Maine it’s 45 minutes to most serious stores.
In the end, we have the means to buy almost anything we want. We just don’t want much.
I prefer the bottom feeder lifestyle.
