Future Car Savings: Taxable Brokerage vs. Sinking Fund?
Hey everyone,
I recently bought a new-to-me 2021 Toyota Tacoma and paid cash. I plan to keep it at least 7 years, ideally 10+ years.
I think I know the Money Guy answer, but I wanted to get some outside perspective: for a future vehicle replacement, would it be better to save in a taxable brokerage account versus a dedicated sinking fund?
For context, I already have a separate sinking fund specifically for maintenance and repairs.
Thanks in advance for the input.
