How I live and how I work

I completely agree with the OP. Let's be honest - you don't NEED a 100 k car right after graduation, even if you're earning a 100 k a year(I've seen this happen).

What he's trying to say is that there's a huge difference between NEED and WANT that people often mis-perceive.

If you only buy shit you NEED, you can save up, then quit your job and do things that you WANT to do, without having to worry about job security, next paycheck et cetera.

But people feel entitled. They DESERVE the car, they NEED the house. The economy would die if everyone was frugal lol

What if that car is a real chick-magnet though?

Do you really want a chick that is attracted to your car instead of being attracted to you?

Maybe if you're dropping 100k on a car to get girls, you don't care what they really think of you as long as they act a certain way. And maybe that's just fine. Just a consideration.

You've got to start somewhere. My mom admits that the first thing she noticed about my dad was his cool car, and they've been happily married for over 35 years.
