I think as long as you save for it, then do what you want. If you want to go on a Euro trip and saved $3k to make it happen, well then you can afford it. If you're planning on using your CC to pay it and then just make payments on the balance, that's how you get into serious debt.Melon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 7:37 amNew cars, I'm with you there.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 10:29 pm
Fuck travel. Fuck restaurants. Fuck new cars. That's for rich people.
But, travel adds a flavor to life that's necessary, and the occasional restaurant is no harm.
If a new car is your thing, throw it into the budget and make sure you can actually pay for it. And see how you'd need to adjust your savings, or other expenses to account for it. And weigh if the shiny new car is worth giving up hot yoga classes so you can pay for it.
