(This is my first real thread, I hope I posted it under the right category, apologies if I didn't)
Hi all,
One of the largest components that drives me to do well is the exotic cars. I want to eventually purchase a Lamborghini Gallardo which sells for about $80,000 - $100,000 USD, but whenever I look for listings I always ask myself this: How much money should I have before I purchase this kind of vehicle? It would be very, very unintelligent of me to blow all of my money on it so I need to create some kind of goal. My question is, how much money should I have in cash, how much should I be making annually and how large should my net worth be?

@MJ DeMarco mentioned in his books that he has (or has had) a Lamborghini in in past, some advise from him or anyone else who has experience with this would be great!

I appreciate all responses!
