aaaaahhhh…we’re back to the same thing: which is the best decision financially versus what is the best decision for your emotional happiness.
For those in the ‘best financial decision’ camp, they’re driving white Camrys and renting right now. 🙂
For others (me included), we have chosen not to wait until 2012 to buy a house (come on people! that’s SIX YEARS since the peak! I ain’t renting that long) and bought cars that plaster us to the back of the seat when we hit the accelerator. We live life in the fast lane and I’m not slowing down for anybody.
I’m in the “you can’t take it with you” crowd. If I’m not allowed to enjoy my $$, then I might as well not spend so much friggin time earning it.
We put back 10% of our income each year and blow the rest on the indulgence du jour.
I’m not dissin either choice – do what makes you happy.
