I'm ranting Sometimes my kids drive me insane full speed ahead into debt [View all]

[TEB]

Five children three grown daughters two boys still at home. Our youngest daughter and our son in law want to buy a brand new Toyota 4 runner 40.000$ dollars reason they have a ten month old and she is pregnant again, I love Japanese cars you cannot kill them easy to get 300.000 on Japan suv.

I have a 02 Toyota Tacoma extended cab only 124.000 miles on it I bought it used, six months ago why because my 98 Nissan Pathfinder wouldn’t pass Pennsylvania inspection with 288.000 miles on it rust issues so I sold my Harley rocker and bought the Tacoma left savings alone. I like 4 wheel drives. And my dream was to drive the pathfinder into my union pension years and giving greedy banks both middle fingers. And at that time my wife said why don’t you just treat yourself and buy new I laughed.

I get it as in having a new car it’s nice my wife drives new every five to six years me I hate owing a bank. So in this ramble I told our daughter hey I know a guy who has a 99 Toyota 4 runner it only has 87.000 on it he wants 4500$ He’s a teamster brother a driver like me who has retired and he just drives his Corolla. Like me he is on top of his vehicles maintenance oil change gets transmission serviced. I even told her hey I’ll buy it for you both problems solved. She’s a elementary teacher she drives four miles to work my son in law is union apprenticeship electrician he travels. No dad that 4 runner is older , then this is the moment I pull my hair out and think geez kid your mortgage is 2100$ month. And you wanna pull a cluster fuck and add what add another bill of maybe 550 month for 72 months, I’m offering you better alternative.


they wanna go into debt over a 2019 4 runner oh they drive me up a rope.
