Hey guys, don't know if this belongs here. Anyways I've almost accumlated 40k from working 6 days a week for almost a year. Anyways question is thats I'm planning on busting it all in one go for a sports car for roughly 45k.

Anyways my question is SHOULD I do this? A lot of people have been telling me "YOUR an IDIOT" if you do and to put it as a desposit on an apartment as an investment. I just wanna have responses from people who have been in my situation where they choose to drove nice cars at young age over money which could have been spent more resourcefully for long term goals and if it has affected them with regrets.

To be honest, I dont really see the point of a 19 year old working his butt off for a unit which he doesnt really need one.
Regards,

David
