<prompt> Human: Im graduating college this fall, and I have around 40k saved up from internships and TAing. Im going to be joining a company in January, and theyre giving me a 50k signing bonus which Im told will be around 30k after tax. The signing bonus is over a year, so if I leave - for example - six months in, I have to give back half of the signing bonus.Ill have around 70k when I start working, and a new Tesla Model S costs around 60k after the 7500 tax rebate. I want to buy a Tesla, but my parents think that I should buy a cheaper car and save my signing bonus so that Im not tied to this company, and if I want to leaveif Im fired, I dont have to worry about paying it back. Also they say that insurance on a Tesla will be pretty crazy, especially since I will only be 20 when I get the car.Do you think its crazy to be spending my signing bonus right away, on a semi-extravagant purchase? Has anyone ever spent their signing bonus, and then had it backfire on them? Ive thought a bit about this decision, but my parents say that it would be an impulsive, short-sighted purchase. Was wondering if you guys agreed.  <response>: 100 no. A brand new graduate should not spend 60k more because you wont want a base model before even starting their job whether they have the money or not.
