What's crazy is my undergrad degree is Computer Science/Math - then I went to law school. "Back then" when I was finally working full time at 24 I doubt I could have afforded the MSLR scaled down in price to back then - and that was working in Manhattan! I'm scratching my head - where did I go wrong?
It AMAZES me that we have under 30's on this forum buying these cars (hey guys, all the more power to you!) - I sure couldn't do it back then, or if did would have been a strain.
Pro tips for anyone who cares:
-No kids
-No debt
-Start your own business, even better if it isn't selling a product or capital intensive - as long as you have someone controlling your income, it's harder for it to grow exponentially and, tbh, life sucks
-Live in a state where you aren't robbed blind by taxes every single time you breathe
-Don't live in an area where rent is $5000/month for some shithole 2 bedroom house built in 1950
Again, can't stress this enough: you want that brand new OLED TV that's 65 inches and costs $2500? Great, no problem! You have to put it on a BestBuy credit card because you don't have $2,500 in excess cash? Just wait 6 months until the price drops or consider the fact you're going to be bored with it in 2 weeks after you buy it anyway. This tip is especially for new college grads, who think once they get a $50k or hell, a $90k job right out of school need to go headfirst in: marriage debt, home debt, child debt, furniture debt, clothes debt, electronics debt. etc.
If you're in debt, and that debt isn't being used to make you more money, someone else owns you and you're going to have a ball and chain around your neck until you get rid of it. Best way to be successful a little earlier and with a lot less stress: don't take debt, unless that debt is required for your business or again, used to make you more money.
