   Look at that cost increase by age in just a few years. Holy fuck, god damn. I like looking at food prices as a gauge of inflation and the economy but auto purchases can be real eye opening too.

     @graf Truck pricing is what got me into watching all these youtube channels that track this shit. I couldn't fucking believe used truck pricing on lots. I was seeing trucks that were years old, with 10k plus miles on them, at near full msrp for a new vehicle. It's like everyone has gone insane. And new truck prices are even crazier. 100,000 for a new truck, that's a house. You're paying for a fucking house on wheels.

     @idea_enjoyer @graf Yeah I was looking at rent prices for the same period of 2019 to 2023 to see what the increase was and it isn't pretty. Funniest part is the places that saw actual decreases correlate to areas that are overrun with crime and have businesses pulling out creating food deserts and strips of abandoned retail space. So a city like Portland is seeing a decline because who wants to get firebombed lol while other metro areas shoot upwards. Unless you wanna move to smalltowns in low density states rental prices are out of control right alongside mortgages.

     @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Jim Shouldn't a 1 year old car be 5 years old, 4 years later?
