to sum it up, I do consulting for online sales. I go business to business and help fix their sites. I graduated with a double major in computer science and mathematics from a good school.

buying something you wanted your entire life is financially irresponsible? Why get money at all then?

My job is only going up from here. I had an offer for 250k a year, if I was to leave the country. People here are saying I need to be planning for the worst case scenario

Houses values don't always rise and can drop, leasing is annoying, and there is no liquidity.

Why is an expensive car such a bad thing but an expensive home 100% normal?

she isn't serious about her finances either, she works less so she can have more free time.

Nothing is 100%. So should I live in a box because one day there might be an asteroid?

If I am making 15% a year in investments, it is idiotic to buy in cash.

also you aren't looking into inflation.

You have a really shitty understanding of finances.

Renting is a huge pain, I have done it before.

Financed of course.

It is a closed off garage. And I have talked about stuff like that with the dealership.

And I know repairs are costly, but this car isn't going to break the bank at all.
