I say buy it. It's not a financially wise decision, but this is part of the process that I've seen a thousand times so you might as well get it over with.

I don't know why this pattern always happens, but it seems almost inevitable for everyone in biz. Here's what it looks like:
  1. Fail a ton of times trying to figure out a biz that works for you. At this phase you're the perfect victim for gurus with their overpriced coaching programs.
  2. After many years of failure, you suddenly start making money.
  3. When you surpass a certain revenue threshold, you proceed to do degenerate things. EVERYONE goes through this phase even if they think they won't. You won't do everything on the list, but you'll do some of it: drugs, alcohol, Lambo purchase, etc.
  4. After the degenerate phase is done, you level up the biz.
  5. Life punches you in the face at some point next. EVERYONE goes through this too. You'll take a major hit to your biz, health, relationships...something major explodes in your face.
  6. You come back stronger.
The prophecy has been fulfilled like clockwork and you are now on stage 3. Congrats on the car.

Time for stage 4. What's the plan for the biz?
