<prompt> Human: I am fully aware that buying a new vehicle is one of the worst things to do with money. Quick rundown... Wife and I make about 110k per year. We have no debt. We live in a nice apartment and are saving for a house down payment. Talking about kids but thats after house. I was asked the other day what I do for fun and all I really do is read Reddit and maintainclean my truck and wifes car. I do maintenance often mostly because I actually really enjoy working on and driving carstrucks. I sometimes go out on the weekends just to drive! My responsible side says never buy a new vehicle, but my heart really wants one!  <response>: Financially it hardly ever makes sense. On the other hand what fun would we ever had if we only bought things that made sense. If you budget for it and buy below your means you can still have fun.
