Interestingly... as an example of careful planning.
Four [in good to excellent condition] Road Vehicles: 1998 4WD SUV, 1998 econo car, Semi Classic 1985 1 ton HD 4WD truck, Full-On Classic 1967 Buick Wildcat "Luxury Muscle Car".
Two [in very good condition] boats: Classic 1977 34' tri cabin Tollycraft, Classic 1975 tow behind Crestliner o/b runabout
Three relatively good condition, reasonably high value houses and properties with combined dept. approx. $43K.
Also, interestingly...
Each vehicle we own could be sold for equal or more dollar value than what we purchased it for... Except the SUV... we're a' gonna run that work horse one into the ground!
Equity in all the houses and property is "way over the top"! Only reason we keep a bit o' debt on them is wright off.
And for final pieces of interest...
1. It calcs out that our forever ongoing maintenance and ins. expenses amount to $150 +/- per month for each car which = $600 per month for cool vehicles to drive anywhere any time. Fuel cost is extra!
2. Both boats' combined cost = per annum average of $7K - including docking maintenance, repairs, haul outs and ins. Fuel cost is extra!
That comes to total expenses of $14,200 per year for all our motorized items; or, just over $1,183 per month with just over $300 per month mortgage costs additional. Tough life... but somebody needs to live it!
