People are not living like cavemen nowadays. They want iPhones and pickup trucks and air conditioning.

If you're willing to spend your free time living the way a caveman did, you can probably get by working a lot fewer hours.

    Iphone $800 Ford F350 $45,000

    A year of average US rent $25,000 which you have to keep paying every year and it goes up AT LEAST 8% every year.

    The truck will let you pay it off over 5 years so your monthly payments would be like 750. Not nothing for sure but still not even half of rent.

    You're not including monthly service for your cell phone, the accessories you need to buy (including a case), the electricity to charge it, and so-on.

    For the truck, you also need to include the gas, insurance and maintenance.
