Very rarely do I agree with Marketwatch's personal finance tips but I agree with this one.

Early in my entrepreneurial journey, my lust for fast cars really set me back in many ways.
Each time I was burdened with payments which forced me to work crappy jobs. All for an above average car that was merely a mask to an identity that I haven't yet achieved.
The nice car gave me a temporary ego boost (for about 1 month) and swiped away TIME and MONEY.
Nothing wrong with a nice car, even an exotic one.
But for the love of God, wait until you can afford to buy one, pay cash (or use cheap money) and not bat an eye about it.
The road to riches is this simple: Drive a crappy car
Buying new cars is like taking $40,000 and setting it on fire.
