Should I buy the car? (I did, then sold it)

[perchboy]

Background: I just turned 18 last month, my business has been doing $15k/month for the past 3 months (I expect 30k in October), and I have 65k saved up


I want to get this car that costs 65k:



I need to put 35k down because I have no credit, then I’ll have 30k in my bank, and pay around 2k/month all in (car payment, insurance, gas)

Winter is coming in 3 months so I can’t drive it that often and my mom has been threatening to kick me out the house for not going to college.

Why I should get:
- Super cool car to be driving at 18
- Can help me with my personal brand
- Will motivate me to make more money
- The money will come back anyways (abundance mindset)
- I’ll feel like a winner
- Money has no value of sitting in my account
- I will regret not buying it and living the life I want

Why I shouldn’t:
- Risky if my business fails
- My business might slow down in winter
- If I get kicked out I will have lots of expenses from car + house and might go in debt
- Family will think I’m stupid
- I will regret the financial stress

I’m definitely leaning towards getting it and already paid the down payment. My winner friends who make money say it’s a no brainer to get it BUT my family and loser friends say not to get it because of the above reasons. I thought I’d consult my fellow Fastlaners to see what y’all think
