<prompt> Human: So I get 60k in a couple months. I am 18 and a navy nuke enlist so I dont have any debt at all. Ive never owned a car but I love them. Im gonna be making a salary just by going to nuke school and will have my food and dorm paid for. Can I purchase a nice 30k car and invest another part of it into something high risk like bitcoin, or is that a bad idea? I dont see myself ever coming into financial problems because Ill be making a salary with very little expenses then get a 6 figure bonus if I decide to realist or I could leave the navy and get a high paying civilian job 150k.All in all I just have a big car boner.  <response>: Its a fucking terrible idea.One of the biggest mistakes young men make, is to spend way too much money on their first car.Savings are a very, very, very, very, very good idea.Bitcoin is volatile as fuck, and theres no guarrantee it wont all disappear. Investing a bit of money in crypto? Not a bad idea. Investing a lot?Fraught with peril.Take time to think about investing, as often a simple spread works out much better in the long run.Try and have a minimum of 20K savings at all times, it comes in handy when you least expect it.Trust me, I well understand the desire for a decent car, especially one with a lot of power than goes fast.But its a better idea to get a midrange second hand car with a bit of go, until youve had a few years of driving experience.Youve got a big windfall coming that can set you up for life, use it wisely.
