<prompt> Human: Heres my situation:My lease is up at the end of May, so I have been doing some car shopping recently. I came across a 2010 Audi A4 Avant w 60k miles for 13k, and with my expensive taste in cars, jumped on it, and paid cash. Im now freaking out because although it was a GREAT deal I could probably get 15k for it, I feel like I was too trigger happy and spent more than I should have on a car. Current savings expenses:Liquid assets checking, savings accounts etc - 20kYearly pretax income - 47kRent - 550 includes utilitiesFood etc - 250 per monthInsurance - 100 per monthI know I am in a good position, as I am one of the few 24 year olds I know that does not have any student debt. What do you all think of my decision here?I hated paying for a lease, as I was just paying to borrow something, so my train of thought is that although the car may depreciate a little, it will still hold value enough for me to save more money than if I were to lease.Would you suggest that I look to sell the car and buy something cheaper 7k perhaps?Thanks in advance!Assistant: If you got yourself out of a lease, you own the car outright and it is in good shape, your fine. Yes, you could have bought a cheaper car and have more cash saved, but the important thing is, you paid for a car with cash, didnt finance it, and it isnt outside of your income level. Audi A4 is a great car when properly maintained, a lot of fun My friend has one and we use his car to go Cruising instead of mine, and if your a car guy, it will become a source for many hours of fun maintenance and taking care of it. I would say keep it, take good care of it, make it last 5 years and you will be fine. But if you 24 and no debts and have under 1km in expenses on a 47ky salary, i hope you are socking away piles of cash for retirement and investment accounts. If done right, you could retire before 40. you may already be doing this, but want to put the idea in your head if you arentHuman: Lets overestimate real quick here.Lets say he loses 20 to taxes which will probably be higher, his yearly net is 37600.Subtract 12000, now hes at 25600, or about 2133 take home. If he saves EVERY SINGLE dollar of that for 15 years, were assuming a 0 extra spending and no raise in income, thats only 384,000That is not enough to last retiring at 40.Assistant: Youre also not taking into account Im working an entry level job in a potentially Lucritive industry investment consulting  <response>: Youre right, Im not, because in my opinion, gambling your future on potentials can lead to some poor decision making I hope youre lucrative, but the only certain is the wage youre currently making and the bills you currently have.Good luck, I hope you do well!
