But if you've been weighing this for some time then its clear that you understand what you'd be getting into. That said, I am a huge believer in minimizing conflict. Not with others as it may sound. But minimize conflict within yourself. If you please others at the expense of your deep desire you are actually INCREASING conflict. Internal conflict that is. And since the voice we hear WAY more than our family, wives or anyone is the voice in our own head. If you don't get it the question is this: Do YOU have a way to rationalize it so that you LOVE your decision to not get it. If you can do this then by all means do the fiscally responsible thing and wait. But if you will torment yourself in internal conflict... well then you must buy it.

Btw, this applies to ALL things. Including marrying your girlfriend. Doing things out of compulsion is to not genuinely do something at all.

Lastly, remember that buying a Lambo isn't putting $290k down the drain. It only costs you however much it depreciates during your ownership. So if you decide the fun isn't worth the expense after a year then you lost $60k or so. But even that isn't really a loss if YOU decide $60k is a small price to pay to realize a dream while you're still young enough to enjoy it.
I loved this post. These are sage words. Thank you

The easiest cosigners would be your parents, ask them nicely, promise you will take care of them and let them cosign. Or, find a rich wife (doesn't have to be yours, btw).

Enjoy your life.



I edit my post.
I see that you live in Australia, no way to escape authorities unless you are a very fast swimmer. Dismiss my previous post.
Work your ass off instead.
LOL!! And I also loved THIS post - made me laugh, literally out loud
