  • “Probably 95% of the time I don’t need a truck, but when I need it, I need it.”

    This was the exact rationale I used to justify not getting a truck. I liked the idea of having a truck and being able to use it to move etc. but the fact that a smaller more economical vehicle would suit my needs 95 percent (more like 98-99.5 for me realistically) of the time swayed me in the other direction. I paid a good 30 percent less for the vehicle I have now and it gets 40mpg so I’ll save thousands in gas over the life of the vehicle.















  • Dealing with airports and flying is a miserable experience but is unfortunately the best way overall to travel overseas/very long distances (obviously highly dependent on where in the world you are located/where you are traveling to). I avoid flying except for maybe a trip every five years where there really isn’t another viable alternative. High ticket costs, crowded aitports, TSA, all the waiting with delays in boarding, taxi’ing, de-boarding etc. really just make the juice not worth the squeeze for me.
