I turn 62 in 17 days. I still work full time. I have no debt, home and all clunkers paid for. I bought two five year cd's in late 07 yeilding me right at 5%. Thinking back then I might retire soon I had the bank send me checks every month. I get about $700 return per month from these CD's. I want to buy a new Nissan truck with no down payment and zero interest. Why not just let my cd's pay for the truck and never touch my money ? I do not need the income from the CD's as I still work full time. I will not live forever but needed advice here from someone else that this would be a wise move. My present truck is 20 years old with over 200,000 miles on it. The way I figure this would probably be the last truck I would ever buy. oldtrig
