<prompt> Human: So I sold my vehicle a while back, and am currently without a vehicle while processing into my new job. I am at a crossroads, as I really dont like a majority of cars out there right now. I have been looking at the new 3 series BMW, which is right around where I wanted to spend, but my significant other is pretty adamant that I cant afford it. I think I would be able to afford it, and more importantly, be very happy in it. I came from absolutely nothing and I really cherish the things I work hard for. Yeah, I could get a not so nice car that Id be unhappy in for a few years and then get a nice car, but whats the point of that.Salary 67,000, unknown mortage at this point but obviously she will be paying some.  <response>: How much is one of those BMWs? My guess is, you cant really afford it. I could get a not so nice car that Id be unhappy in for a few years and then get a nice car, but whats the point of that.So then go into debt to be happy for 6 months, and then be unhappy for the next 5 years while you are shelling out payments?Your car isnt going to make you happy man.
