Well first off, you haven’t introduced yourself, how old you are, you current situation and haven’t filled a complete profile. So it’s hard to give advice…like are you living at home and still in school? Are you married, staring down a big mortgage with 3 kids???
Personally, I do not own one, but had my chance twice, but decided on more important things that needed to be done first. Next summer I plan to have a 348 in my garage (unless something major happens…like, I don’t know…dying…lol).
As far as getting girls, it’s not the way to go about it, which would be like buying a 747 just to get free peanuts…there are a lot cheaper way to get girls…
What kind of jobs we do doesn’t mean a thing…its how much you make per year and what is your current situation is what's important. Like I said earlier, are you living at home and in school or 35 years old with 300K in debt with 3 kids…My rule of thumb, is the amount you make per year is the amount you can afford for a car. If you cant afford the car that is equivalent to your salary, you have too much garbage debt (credit cards, personal loans, boat loans, motorcycle loans, booze or drug addiction etc…) Now some people have a mortgage payment twice of what they should have on their salary, so that means two things…you have a home twice as big as most folks with your salary, or you have racked up so much debt and had to paid it off with your mortgage. I have a regular size home with a garage the size of most small homes that is detached from my house. If I wanted to I could sell it and buy a house twice as big with about 4-5k+ square feet. But then I would not be able to afford a Ferrari.
We all make choices in life, we can choose to be house poor or car poor, I choose to be car poor (poor because the big car payment makes me poor). There is a small amount of people who can afford to have both. In my 20’s I was excited about making good money and did accrue debt. I bought lots of toys, had my fun (still have the toys and are paid now) but did spend lots of money on stuff that was not really needed. It was just cool to spend lots of money and not have any responsibilities. When I hit 30, I said to myself, wow, I spent 150K on garbage…and began to think about it, on my 30th birthday, I could of bought a 308 for my daily driver AND a Testarossa for the weekends...
So now I have a house, I have cleared almost all my debt, paid off my 3 year old truck in full and other stupid debts I had. So besides my mortgage, I have about 6k left and I’m laughing now. I could have bought a Ferrari last year but I would have still had my debts. By December I will be debt free, and this includes this new issue I have right now that is, I have to fix/redo my retaining wall that separates me and my neighbor and then install a 225 foot long PVC fence all around my lot (well backyard only). Like I said, sometimes we have to make choice before getting a Ferrari, this wall and fence is one of them. Make intelligent choices in life and not what your heart tells you and you will achieve it. I have seen Ferrari’s sell as low as 30K, a fully loaded minivan is more than that, but the question is….do you need a minivan first????????????
