* Retirement funds to be maxed out
* stocks/investments
* Home purchases (rental homes for investments)
* kids education (now and for future)
last on that list is an awesome ride  i even had to give up manual transmissions once i got married, wife can't/won't learn stick
I'm now about low key living and avoiding cops giving me tickets. Your not partially right... you are right. growing up and responsible is not as fun as my single days. |
Smart man!
I actually just got rid of a manual and picked up a 335i for a "family car", as we have a little one on the way.
Normally I would instantly start modding and changing things, but like you said, all money goes to childcare saving, investment etc.. Getting older definitely changes things, but the joy that children bring is more than worth it!
There will be time for project cars later in life.
Edit - regarding prices. I just picked up a Space Grey 2011 335i performance edition w/ 54k, for 17,999. I added a 3 year fidelity bumper to bumper warranty, so it came out to around 21k total. It has nav, premium pkg, sport package, performance pack etc..
