<prompt> Human: So I am at a stage of my life where I have a lot coming up and Im wanting to get some suggestions on how I spend my hard earned for the next couple of years.Background: I am 28, make 68K, No student loans, rent 900month, Ford Ranger 03 paid in full, no debt, pay CC off every month in full, 11K in emergency funds, 401K up to max matching 6. I have been saving for my dream car Mustang GT 5.0 for almost 2 years now and have 26K saved up for it.My dilemma is that I anticipate having several life changing events in the near future. I plan on moving in with my gf in October, moving cities and working from home. I plan on proposing to her if all goes well with the living situation. Future Expenses: wedding, house. Luckily her parents are going to pay 30K for her wedding so I wont be footing the entire bill. House I will need 20 down so at least 40K saved by then probably want the house in 2 years. I think I can manage all of this but wanted confirmation from my fellow Redditors. Im not use to making large purchases as I like to put away my . So my question should I buy the 43K Mustang or keep being frugal due to large expenses on the horizon? Note: There is no turning me away from buying new, Im stubborn, Ive heard all the reasons not to, this is my one treat, I pinch every where else.  <response>: No, no, and no.You will be driving a car worth over 50 of your income well over at that. If I handed you 46,000 75 of your income and told you to invest it, would you then put the money into something that immediately depreciates? No.When you start making six figures, maybe start thinking about a 50k car. Right now you need to be saving to start your new live, investing in a Roth IRA, now, and not worrying about buying toys.this is my one treat, I pinch every where else.You sound like my debt ridden mother who buys cowboy boots with student loan money. A treat is a nice meal out or an expensive bottle of liquor, not a new car.
