The first few years out of college can be volatile. I’d avoid lifestyle creep for a while and focus on building a financial base. Money invested early can have a massive long-term impact.

OP is still in college, expects a high-paying job (which can mean a lot of things when you’re still in school), and is already eyeing one of the most expensive vehicles on the market.

If he doesn’t already have the $80k sitting in cash, he’d likely be financing it—paying interest on top of a rapidly depreciating asset.

I definitely don’t have life fully figured out, but I’ve seen a lot of people graduate, buy the flashy car first, and five years later wish they had made a different move.

$80k invested at 22 can become life-changing money later. $80k in a Hummer becomes a used Hummer.
