<prompt> Human: Background: -finished two and a half years of community college, no debt. -decided community college isnt working out at the moment, just got a full time job 10hr, with a 200month raise in 3 months. -i already have a small honda civic 2dr, 165k miles, works okay. -sharing an apartment, 550mo. But i am considering selling my car for 2k, and going to a dealer with a 3-4 year financing plan for a 6-7k car. Reason? I love adventuring. Its my biggest hohby of all. Maybe my only hobby. But i want to have more friends come with me and fit comfortably in long 8 hour road trips. have a durable car for off roadingsnow driving regions that i currently cant get in with my puny honda. But should i? im only 18, but i do have a stable job, not making much but enough to go by frugally. I just was thinking about getting a different used larger more off road type of car for purely fitting friends and adventuring outdoors. I know im young and can have a feable mind so thats why i am asking for your reddits expertise and opinion.  <response>: No. That would be a very poor financial decision. You make 1700month before tax so probably 1400 after tax. Take out rent and youre at 850 left. Food is probably 200month so now 650. Gas another 100. Insurance another 100. 450 left. Do you see where Im going? Do you want to save to ever be able to buy a house, tv, vacation, snowboard, etc?
