I NEVER wanted to be a home owner, but when prices tanked I bought a home at a great price in a nice prentious pompous neighborhood in the "rich" area of town. I also bought probulay the worst house in the neighborhood so Im surrounded by snobs whos main focus in their life is keeping up with the Jones and entire self worth seems to be on showing up each other homes while I couldnt give two ****s about my own, and boy do they love that as far as "investment" thats a huge joke. Getting past the equity thing vs throwing your money away with an apt, you are throwing even more away with a home. Property tax, when you need a new roof, when the AC ****s out, when the fridge takes a crap, when the sump pump goes bad, when the toilet backs up, maintance on the lawn, tress, shrubs, etc., painting the house, HOA dues, and on and on and on and on some more. Its an endless money pit, then when you work all week to pay the mortgage you get to work all weekend keeping the house clean, mowing the lawn, making it look nice like the neighbors etc. A home slowly kills your soul, a car may depreciate, but the joy and passion it fills you with is something you can never put a price on. Further more, great you bought a say 400k home and after so many years its now worth 550k. You sell it to "move up", but all the homes you want to move up to have now gone up in value too, on top of that after all your prop taxes and endless expenses what ever is left now goes to the realitor and her 6-7% commission, so you either lost money or made next to nothing for all your risk, time, effort, etc. In the end you should only own a home if you abosultly must (such as a large family) or it is your passion and you know what youre in for. spend your money on cars if thats what makes you happy, dont follow anyones BS rules of how to live your life. I made the best of it by getting roomies, so ALL of my expenses are covered and I can go back to putting all my funds towars more cars next up a CGT, and that may be here next month now isnt that more fun than wasting your life to have glorified place to eat, sleep, and poop? btw, all my neighbors think Im a drug dealer too, and Im for real about that. A friend of mine is friends with a lady in the next neighborhood over and told him how they all talk in detail about me being one or Im a "rich daddys boy" I couldnt give two ****s less, I just let them think what they want Going back and fourth between a house and a dream car recently, I like the way you think.

you didnt have to quote the entire rant

btw, want to rent a room?

As long as one makes there own money nobody should care how they spend it.

Obviously most 6speeders are car fanatics but seriously, renting an apt and having multiple exotics out front is GHETTO. I'm just saying.....

I agree Zinger, but I wouldn't say it's ghetto. I would say it's stupid in terms of the long run. In Cali at least, all those home improvements another member mentioned can be written off on your taxes when you sell the house. Don't make someone else's house payment by renting. Buy a house first.

Dont take this the wrong way, but if you can afford a Lambo at age 22, you aren't really a "regular working guy"

Feel free to prove me wrong and no offence ment but.. for you to afford that you would have either worked very hard since you left school or you have had help. Now you said you where still living at home, so i take it you probably aren't paying for food or rent etc and you parents are fairly well off, which probably means you had a little help with it, maybe not directly for the lambo but for everything else so you could save up for the lambo.

As i said not being an ass but i dont think anyone who can afford those sorts of cars under 25 or 30 can be classified as a 'regular working guy'

With those comments, I think you're more apt to offend the doctors and lawyers who put in 80 hour weeks for 48 weeks/year.

As for perception buy the damned car and enjoy it. If you're really worried about it, get a personalized plate that says "NOGSMNY".

no offence taken

I grew up on welfare and food stamps because my dad didnt feal the need to get a job for 22 years. He finally got a part time job 2 years ago, so I take no pitty on him. Hes where he is because of his laziness and is on his own as far as Im concerned. I got no real help at all, and Im damn glad I didnt. I cant stand seeing kids on here going to 30k+ a year colleges and mommy and daddy are buying them new Bimmers. I did pay rent, which also covered food and was essentually my dads bitch/slave where any free time I had he found busy work for me to do while he slept on the couch.

you would be surprised how much you can save when you are a miser and work all the time

Man forreal? You must be one cheap SOB to save up that much to get a Lambo by 22 Say I make 120k a year, not even paying taxes or have zero expense that's 3 years before I can get one... you must be still paid pretty well

Buying a nice car in Australia is a lot different then buying a nice car in the states. I think the current exchange rate is like .8, so even while assuming that, you're still looking at paying 2-4X the price for ANYTHING. I was going to drop 100KAUD on an Audi 2009 A4 with options, but bought the same car here for ~$40, 335i's and A5's are over $100KUSD. The price difference was pretty shocking. I still can't imagine paying 150-200K US for an E92 M3 in Australia when the dollar is a little less strong.

I still don't think that justifies having a lambo at 22 though either. It does bug me a bit when I see people with ****ty small houses and an AMG or 911 in the driveway. Sign me up for the food stamps then I guess...
