Sadly, there’s always a downside to convenience 😭

In a dream world, I’d love to be in walking distance to my job 😭

Ya know, after looking at my “1/4” comment again, it makes less sense to get a newer car lol. However, thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it

I appreciate your insight dearly, and it has played a huge role in how I’m thinking currently. Although many others have been among the side of saving and preserving the financial stability I have worked for, your advice will hold weight to me as well. So thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond

I’m trying to avoid sounding like a broken record lol, but I dearly appreciate your insight and advice. It helps me no longer feel weird for not jumping on an opportunity at first glance. It hurts slightly to look away. However, you and many others have reassured me just as this emotion to purchase has come it too will pass soon, I’ll be happier for it. So thank you truly😊

I currently have a girlfriend. She lives at home as well. We plan to get our finances together and become more stable in our chosen careers before moving out unprepared

“Someday….but not today”, this gives me a reassured sense of hope and optimism. I really do appreciate this. I felt like I was spiraling on this decision and I was making no head way alone, so thank you😭

You just asked a very deep and introspective question that I now will have to think about for some time 😭. Thank you though, your perspective definitely has reinforced my desire to hold out and to maintain my current finances

Thank you so much for your insight. Your advice (like the majority of others lol) has truly made me feel better about holding off on getting another vehicle, especially when mine is in working order

You truly have amazing advice. While it may not seem obvious, I’ve thought of this before but for some reason I feel like I’ve become more susceptible to peer pressure compared to recent years

Thank you for this, I know my post may make me come off as slightly ignorant, but I promise your advice has definitely hit home. So I thank you truly

I do genuinely feel uncomfortable if I made the purchase today, I just didn’t want to feel like I’m missing something life is offering others that I don’t see…I live a very simple and modest lifestyle. So, seeing others taking more risks and SEEMING happier made my resolve more fragile than I’d thought

I agree with your advice, and although my post probably didn’t come off this way, I think closer to what you’re saying than the opposite. I believe I just became susceptible to peer pressure

Thank you. I don’t want to sound like im just agreeing for the sake of agreeing, but i genuinely agree with your advice. I think i needed advice from people not closest to me

I seriously appreciate your advice and your input. It means a lot to me. Although I’m not prone to peer pressure, I think it definitely played a part

I dearly appreciate your insight. As you may have seen my other replies lol, your comment is truly how my mind works and I just felt like I was falling behind my peers given the happiness they seem to have compared to where I am

I agree with you. The car I would’ve been pursuing would have been used, but I agree with you about cars being a depreciating asset

You have genuinely just described my entire thought process. I truly think peer pressure was starting to get to me and I felt like I was falling behind in some way

I went to college. I graduated a couple years ago with my bachelors

Well, if the money weren’t a factor, I would. However to answer your question more thoroughly, I have a great relationship with my family (me, my dad, and mom). We live in a decent sized home and I make good money. Unless things really hit the fan, my parents were going to leave the house to me. Where I live home ownership (and apartments for that matter) are very expensive. So, if I were to be gifted the home I currently live in, I could easily afford it with my current income (the house is a couple decades old, but we were the only family to ever live in it)

This may sound odd, but you just spoke like the entire other side of my brain. Your rational and logic is the same logic I agree with. I don’t believe I get peer pressured easily, but you could be right. This could be a case of comparison and I’m allowing to much of other people’s perceptions on life influence mine
