<prompt> Human: I grew up being old style kind of guy. I dont like owing people money. I dont have any loans. Bought a beat up house in cash and still fixing it. Graduated college, paid for it, and have been working for about 6 years now, and currently making 85kyear. 15 of that goes into my TSPretirement. No bonuses. I rent one room in my house for 400month cash to a buddy. I am also a part time firefighter, so I get a littlebit of money on the side during the fire season. I am single, no dependents, and my bill is maybe 300-400 a month. I have about 70k in cash that I have saved up. Id figure Ive never spent anything good on myself. Everything I own is used and beat up. I am wondering if I should get a new truck. Id pay maybe 50k max on it. Id do it in cash, and wont do it any other way. I am looking at a 2016 Silverado High Country right now. I have talked to some of my friends and they told me that I should spend more on myself and not put that money away. They think I should enjoy my life now. I currently drive an 07 civic. Especially with trying to fix the house, its really difficult not having a truck. I dont ever remember buying anything of this caliber for myself, other than a few guns at 150 the price. Thanks in advance.  <response>: Why dont you meet yourself in the middle ? I think coming from where you are you might find that a 25k truck is really nice. I also think that if you spend 50k on a new one, and realize 6 weeks later that is it just a vehicle after the new car smell is gone, you might be really pissed at yourself.
