The "under 25 and paid for my OWN truck" thread

Nope....I paid mine off the day I bought it.

Now stop spending your money on mods - and pay off (or save up for) your mortgage!

 

I'm 26 now, i've had my truck paid off for two years now.

Pics in sig.

 

I'm just curious how you guys did it. When I turned 18, I moved out of the parentals and paid rent, college shit, food, utils, gas (honda civic) etc. No money left for a truck payment

 

saved for years and years beforehand, and still lived at home at the time of purchase.

 

I have 45k put away for down payment. My truck is stock. (for now)

Been working + saving since I was 12.. I also have a very good paying job for 22.

 

Then at this point in life, you can't afford a truck payment.

I bought my truck when I knew I could afford the payment, increase in insurance (newer vehicle), and increase in gas (had a honda accord before 27mpg > 16mpg ). This happened when I got a new job making about 15k more a year than my previous job.

 

Got mine at age 17 in 2008. And I'm 21 now and almost paid off. And every penny toward payments, gas and mods has come out of my pocket. I love when people say "my mom or dad would never buy me a truck like that". And I respond" mine either that's why I've worked since I was 13".

 

I like cookies.

Paid for my Taco in cash at age 17. Wiped out my savings account!!! haha

 

The only vehicle I was given was my first and it was the pre taco. I sold that when I turned 18 and bought my suv, sold that and bought my current car. Other than the pre taco, I have paid for all my cars. gas, insurance, ect. I hate when people label those of us with nice trucks/ cars with the "mommy and daddy bought that for them" stereotype.

 

my first car was an integra... kept it bought a taco in 08 when i was 19..got stolen in 09.. bought a 4runner.. all with my own moneysss

 

So, have you been prostituting or dealing drugs since you were 12?

Jesus...you guys/gals are SPOILED ROTTEN!! I hope you carry this 'pay it off' attitude into your elder years.

 

bought mine at 19

 

24, got mine at 22, not a cent was paid for by anyone else but me

 

Um

 

oh the joys of financing

 

yep

 

Got mine when I was 23, I'm 25 now but paid it off last year. It's a great feeling. I walk out there, look at it and think...."I own this bitch....awesome"

 

19 now and 2 months ago i bought my own tacoma. when i got my licence at 15 1/2 my dad gave me his old toyota pickup 4x4. i have a uncle who is 42 and has never bought his own vehicle or house. Sad to see my grandparents still buyin him vehicles.

 

1st gen FTMFW

 

bought a jeep when i was 15. spent 6 or 7 thousand dollars fixing it over the years. sold it cheap, bought the taco with $8k borrowed from the bank. should pay it off this summer. so yeah, im almost "in" lol.

.. and i pay all the gas, insurance, maintenance, etc on it. guess my parents dont love me
