On: Are SUVs Ruining Retirement Savings?

[modzu]

everyone i know with a truck uses it for work (at least partially) -- so the cost is offset by the income they generate

Here in the suburban west they've become replacements for SUVs - for hauling kids to soccer. People have them because it's either a culture thing for them or it makes it a lot easier to haul gear skiing or camping (I live in Colorado). I only know 1 person with an actual work truck and about 5 with kid-haulers.
