I know of a few people like that. One has an Expedition, his wife drives a Tahoe. With recent gas increases they have really felt it in the pocketbook. There is no need to driving those things if you can't afford it/them.
You figure the payment on an Expedtion is around $500.00 per month. You'd spend around that for fuel(400-500) and another 150.00 per insurance.
That's appox 1200.00 monthly. WOW. I can afford to do something like that, but I'd kick myself in the head everytime I filled up at the pump.
It's insane.
