I did a 5 year plan via excel calculating my take home income less monthly expenses and stuff. I can afford to down 100 on the house and ~30 on the car (making my car payments only like $800 a month).

Even though I can make the down and mortgage, you're right it is a bit tight for me to solo. Once the gf is out of college and finds a 50-60k job, we'll be easy sailing.


what happens if your girl doesn't land a job? Like many students getting out of college? Then you won't be getting a house as soon as you would wish correct? Just doesn't seem like an overall smart decision to me, especially if you have 30k to drop on a car, pick up a nice c6 z06

Yeah, I know from personal experience that buying a really expensive car when you dont have your priorities laid out is a bad idea. You can't rely on contingencies to pay it off. You should not be dropping $80K on a car when you're renting either. You said this may be the last time to buy such a car but it's really not. You will have your entire life to do so and even when you have kids you just have to sit down with an accountant/financial advisor and figure out how you can plan to pay for this as well as having enough to pay for everything else.

Don't spend your down payment for a house on a car. I once bought a very expensive car just because I could. Didn't worry about whether or not my life would go exactly as planned. It didn't go as planned of course, and I got bit in the ass hard. Talk to accountant, figure out your priorities. Don't just do it.

Posting in a Azn Masta brag thread


I park my $80,001 car outside as well, because I also like to live dangerously...
