You sir, have said *** twise, you should be punished

 

I just graduated university with a business degree. Nothing great...Now im stumped. Im working for 17 an hour at a food distribution company..I dont think i will ever get rich....Just me and my z


But,

I may do my cga and maybe that will lead me to riches..Im pretty old now...

24

 

24 is old? What world do people live in? You have your whole life to figure out your career.

 

When I said "buy in cash" that doesn't mean that I would have the money stored in a no-interest account. I meant that it would be better to keep your money liquid so you can convert to cash easily.

The point is that if you had that much money, it'd be a better idea to dump it into something that doesn't depreciate so quickly when you are young.

 

$200000/year isn't something that is impossible. You just have to be willing to make sacrifices. You don't need to be of very high intelligence either. Average intelligence + incredible work ethic WILL get you there.

 

There is no one size fits all financial plan. 200k in San Diego is much different than 200k in Missouri, so throwing around a salary number means nothing without all the other data points.

For my wife and I who both agree to never have kids, life is very simple. We don't have the costs of raising children or the need to save for their college education. We don't have to concern ourselves with leaving a legacy behind. If I'm cash poor with a 2 million dollar house at age 70, I'll reverse mortgage it. Who cares - we have no one to pass it on to anyway besides maybe a charity. I'm not "baller" enough to pay cash for the GT-R - it will take 2 years to pay off - but I believe in having fun while young. I never wanted to be that guy that waits to buy a nice car and finally buys a Corvette at age 50 and putts around town in it.

 

 

Hence, which is why I've also said this...

In case you missed it before you focused in on the $200000/year figure.

I was just using a personal scenario that I'm familiar with. In my opinion, even if I had an annual income of $200000, I would still not buy a GTR because it's definitely not chump change and I'd rather have a bigger house than a nicer car. A 350Z or a Corvette that is not a daily driver would provide me with plenty of fun regardless at a much lower cost.

 

You may have missed where I didn't quote you, which means I wasn't directly responding to you but instead making general statements.

And you are making a false assumption that someone making 200k can't afford a GT-R AND a "bigger" house. It really depends on what a person's other expense are.

 

I'm the only one in the entire thread that brought up the "200k" figure so perhaps it was just coincidence that you also picked that number randomly? Maybe you didn't have the "quote" tags for what I said, but it's undeniable that you were indeed referencing it in a very specific way.

I didn't make the false assumption that someone making 200k CAN'T afford a GTR and a bigger house. They can indeed. However, you probably again missed it where I said...

I was solely referring to myself and certainly NOT making general statements.

 

nonsense

 

I date rich girls...

 

Umm, if I was single and lived with my parents as a dept manager at "LOWES", then I can afford a GT-R, but that is about it. But instead, I have a wife and three kids and a house with 3 acres with a '07 fusion, '08 Z, and 2000 ranger.

 

lol dont be hatin on lowes! its true that dept manager sin northern virginia make almost 60k a year. lol i used to work there, anyways

I am taking classes in nuclear safety and nuclear administration and i would be making good money and i plan to manage it well becuase i want a gt-r. most people say that a house would be a better investment but i dont have a wife or kids at the moment and i wouldnt have a need for a full house. more than likely a cheap flipped house or a nice apartment

long story short me making at the lowest 75k a year could afford a gt-r after my first year of working. thats paying cash.

 

This guy is a liar.. how would you fit an M82 in your GT-R for sniper missions? Real assassins would know this. Fialure..

 

lol, I'm not hating on lowes, I work for lowes right now, but wow 60k in virginia! I make 40k here in texas. I shouldve stayed in virginia.lol. its true, if your young and have the money, why not buy a nice car because hopefully by the time you finish paying it off, then you will be ready to own a home and family and have a badazz car with no payments.imo I got married at 22 and had to work my way up to have what I have at 33 now, so I went the other way around

 

Admittedly, I feel behind sometimes. I'm almost 27, make IMHO dog **** money (though I think anything less than 100K is dog sh*t). I graduated with honors from Business School and manage a Securities Reconciliation team that balances around 100M in transactions at any given time.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

 

So do you think that 75k/year is enough to actually afford a GT-R? lmao.

 

I'd rather be young and actually "own" a home than be young and "own" a nice car but have nowhere to live if I am unemployed.

The point is it is infinitely smarter to buy property first before indulging on a GTR.

 

+1

at 75k income, I would DEFINITELY NOT be driving a GTR...
