    I'd buy the last of the Third Gens - get a 2023 Tacoma, trick it out and still come out ahead of the game than the raptor would set you back.

    The next vehicle I purchase is going to have a bed/kitchen/bathroom/stove so I can sleep at the ski resort or trailhead. Like a Sprinter or maybe a flatbed camper

    Work for an employer who contributes to a 401K. Drop 10% of your POST-TAX ( ie: Roth 401K) money in there.
    Thank me later.

    If you think 10% is a lot of money, think of it this way, ....
    Take $1.00 in change and put it in your pocket.
    Now take out a dime and throw that in a drawer.
    At the end of the day reflect on that dime, did it make a difference in your life?... no.
    But 25 years of 10% with matching dollars into a 401K will be worth a ton of money.

    Try lot of B and maybe a dollar or two of A.
    I buy once in a while, probably $5 or less a month on average. Been doing that for 30 years,,, ain’t won shit, $200 once but that’s about it. Lottery is for the poors to try to avoid work, or for common man to have a little entertainment.

    If possible got 100% After-Tax. When you start drawing the pre-tax account you'll pay like income tax rates - that happened to me... bummed.

    If I'm wining the Loto neither of these truck choices are on my radar.
    I'm going straight to the Raptor R, sending it to the Callaway plant in Texas for the "Velostor Raptor" package.
