Hey everyone ,
I have been battling this question to myself for some time , I have a 1972 240z which ive owned for 8years , I rebuilt this car in my garage by myself so there is a strong emotional attachment to it . I really do not drive it as much as i would like to as i live in Canada and i wont drive it in winter , and i also work on a offshore oil rig where I am there for one month and home for a month , so even less time to drive it . I have three small kids now and my time home is mainly spent with them and my goal is to be free of this job within 5years or less .
My current money situation isn't where I would like to be as I have not been good with money in the past but have changed things drasctically in the past 6months , agressively paying off my debt. I have a mortgage which will be paid off by end of next year and a car loan for the family vehicle which I will pay off asap .
Now I could realistically get 25-30k for my car , right now the car just sits in my garage but everytime i drive it i fall in love with it over again and the thought of selling it goes out the window. I dont owe anything on it and pay a few hundred dollars a year in insurance on it so its not costing much to have it , as I have not been spending any money on upgrades for it. But I beleive if i sold it i will get a better ROI allocating that money to something else. My wife isnt a car person and couldnt care less , she wants me to get rid of it . I think I already have the answer to this but emotional attachment to a sports car is a hell of thing .. but if it will take me that one step closer to becoming free of my job and being financially free i will do it . Interested in your thoughts ... thanks for reading .
