So long as you contain the shoes to the size of your closet…. Might be good! Just buy that RRS already. Once you are 70 year old I doubt you get the same enjoyment from driving something fun. I can afford it, why the hell not?! Why the hell not indeed? My reason is because I only have a one car indoor garage. I feel stupid parking the second car on the street or in my driveway. Seems like space is a commodity. I also live in jersey commute to nyc everyday, but walk or bike to the station.
I have a car, which only moves from one side of the street to the other. The only reason why we keep it is for emergencies. Sure, you got it. You can send it to your friends. But better yet, send it to their fiances and girlfriends so that they are on the hook and screwed! Go for an old Porsche or Jag or Ferrari…you can drive in style, and none of that new money look at my GT-R style…real style! There are plenty of high end cars from the early s that are still as luxurious and fast as ever that are at the bottom of their depreciation curves making it a great time to buy.
I find that I rationalize certain expenditures under the guise of productivity. Its never anything big, but like buying a coffee for the sake of getting stuff done that day.
However, this can still apply to a big purchase, like a super car or suv. I had a beat up hand me down toyota tercel when I got my license and drove it for many years. I cherished it kept it clean and neat and was happy at that time. Then I upgraded to a Honda Accord. Several years later I now have an Infiniti. The point is if you can afford it a car is not just going from point A to point B…. Are you able to lease the Bentley for only 6 months? Would be interesting splurge purchase, business expense imagine using it to drive for Uber!
I agree that the best way to avoid spending is to keep yourself away from opportunities to buy. I see that Range Rover in your future! Maybe a two month lease — nice fancy sportscar — a couple of tickets then back to the functional low cost beast!
Sam, can you write a post about how to save or make more money for folks with kids? Would love to learn more on that… :. Great story. Easily the unnecessary expense for the typical American family. We had a car discussion with friends this eek. The conclusion was that as long as it brings you from A to B in a safe way, all is fine. The only exception e could think off would be a Tesla.
They start to show up a lot now in Belgium. My money waster is travel. Rationalization can be very dangerous indeed. There are a bunch of car dealerships in the area where I work so I decided to check some out during my break. It would be good in the snow and we need a car with more room etc. Luckily that faded quickly. The struggle is always finding the right balance between saving and enjoying life. My husband has been wanting a Ferrari California for years.
I tell him to go for it already. But, I feel that he does deserve to get that car of his dreams. Excess inventory is what makes us feel bad and stupid about our purchases. I plan for my older son to get his Mercedes E as he will get his drivers license in about 6 months.
Before I answer another question, may I ask you why buy your older son how old is he? What about a Honda Accord or something? Buying a teenager or adult child a luxury car as his first car might demotivate him from making his own money in the future. Maybe he decided to go to a state school instead of a private college, or got big scholarships that is saving you money?
Why bother when my parents are rich! I expect him to be on the road at least 2 hours a day between going to school and going to his hockey games. After the issue of safety, I say trade it in or sell private party. For a young male with no money, a car is a life changing moment. Use the car as a tether for making him do something that will benefit his life! This is obviously a generalization, but I think people overestimate how much happiness luxury goods actually brings you versus other things, like an interesting vacation or just spending time with loved ones or, it might sound crazy, but buying things for others.
There is book called the Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt that is a really good read, he is a social psychologist that has written a lot of interesting books about these kinds of topics. I agree with you though. You never love car that is given to you as much as you love a car you buy. The first car I finally paid for was half the price and I loved it twice as much! Still driving it baby! Although I see the point Chi is trying to make about the reliability of inheriting cars as opposed to buying used ones.
Cost is the first deterrent and the second is the horrendous traffic and number of terrible drivers in the city here. Driving is unfortunately stressful and if I was driving an expensive car it would be even more stressful. Anyway, sounds like you had a lot of fun checking out the cars and talking things through.
It must feel great to have avoided such a giant price tag. Nice job tackling your mortgage! Ha, ha, ha, thank you for making my breakfast so enjoyable!!!!!!!!!!!! We are human after all and must keep our guard up at all time : It would be a hoot to hear what the rich kids have to say.
You are very right. We as a human being can really rationalize everything. I ended up getting obsessed with purses. I learned about all the different brands, the different styles. How much they cost. What a good deal looks like.
Which celebrities carry which bags. In a lot of ways, I think that purses are for women like cars are for men: women use their purses to carry their lives around.
They are a status symbol as much as they are a tool. By the end of that month, I had come so close to buying one of these purses so many times. I decided that on my next trip out of town, I would go to the store on Saturday and use my stipend to buy this purse that would change my life! Then, I started working again. I realized that this bag actually cost weeks of blood, sweat, and tears. Reality kicked in. Best to put your cash to good use like paying off your mortgage!
Granted the guest bedrooms look way better now since they are not bare. Oh, and what about the Range Rover Evoque? They look nice and could be had for around 50k I believe. I have myself pretty much under control, but I do see your point with not putting yourself in a tempting situation. I love nice guitars. Some are really beautiful with their transparent quilted maple tops in different colors with nice gold hardware. I havent gone out and spent big money on any but the temptation is there!
Top of the line hand crafted. It looks great. I felt the wheels spinning thinking how I could get a discount and justify buying it. Its too much to spend but I do see how it can pull you in just like with you and nice cars. When I do purchase a car, my main priority is that it is reliable. You hit your passive income target. You fulfilled your dream of starting a business. You own three properties in one of the most desirable places in the US. What are you saving so much for now?
At least spend it and give yourself a reason to work harder again! I think we worry that it is all just one slippery slope — and if we deviate from our standard practices than all hope is lost. How could you. I never talk about it. And it might have a different name!
In society today we have so many temptations. Thanks to the wonderful internet we can go shopping at any minute and find all these great deals that tempt us into spending.
Pleasing others is an expensive habit that many of us cannot afford. Thanks for teaching this important lesson, hope you enjoy the weekend!
