What do people do to get a 458

Listen to your parents.

 

Marry into MONEY!!!...practice by saying...."Yes Dear"....Mark

 

LOL WUT.

Why do people expect to make money instantly? Work your ass off! Keep dreaming and you are going to get left behind!

Now, don't take this the wrong way...I don't know you, but you probably have no idea how easy you have it. Keep working at the mall, save up, you won't make a lot of money quickly but you will gain experience and know the rights and wrongs.

Jeez...where the hell was I, and this motivation when I was probably your age, I'm guessing 16 or so. I probably wouldn't be struggling as much as I do now.

EDIT: Whoops, you are 20. Not too far off from me, but damn, I'm getting old!

 

Most.. well.. ALL of the 458 I've met and known have their car because they've worked and saved and invested their money their entire life. The only people that have a brand new 458 at 25 I've even read about have inherited their money, borrowed the car from mom or dad, or have started an business in their teens. Most, under 40 lets say, have inherited the $$$.

The rest are in their 40's and 50's and have built up something from scratch.. a business, a professional career, etc. If you want the instant mega bucks, aside from lottery wins, it's usually illegal.. and usually lasts 36 minths before it collapses and people go to jail. There aren't too many ways to instant wealth. It's usually something that is built. Most of what you see now in this recession are people that had something before and have built it up further IMHO. I predict alot of it is wealth in the market, riding equities. Get an education, education is "tools" that help you differentiate yourself from other people and help you develop your ideas when they come to you. An education also gives you credibility in the way you communicate to others, and with a degree. If that's not in the cards, work hard, be a reputable person, think and explore, and look for opportunity.

I think your parents are spot on.. although I predict if you really want to impress them a stupid car isn't going to go far. Being a decent, honorable, successful person in life often impresses a parent more than a fancy car.

 

Ain't happening (20yo). How to? See all the posts above.

I sincerely hope "impressing your parents" is REALLY NOT WHY you want a Ferrari.


I promise you this gleened solely from your post, it won't.





Oh, and did anyone above happen to say, "Listen to your parents?"

 

You didn't talk about your education level?

Also, if there was a way to make a few million in a short time, the people that know about it would have done it themselves.

If you are not used to hard work you can get the next degree you don't have while working full time. That will get you in the rythem of making money.

 

Sure.

Outlive your parents.

Inherit.

Enjoy.

 

Mate. I'm 20 years old, work at a shopping centre serving groceries to customers (I actually like it), and my folks drive one car - close resemblance to those workhorse cars that you guys use.

458 Spider ownership? Wait until the new Forza comes out, purchase the car with your HARD EARNED credits, and impress all your friends and family with your newly acquired sex symbol. I expect you to transfer 10% of your credits to me upon you doing this.

I do not understand that you MUST own a 458 in your early 20s and right now, when you clearly cannot clarify the intention and needs necessary to own one. Once you understand this principle, for good or bad, you will be fit to purchase an Fcar- because you will know what is required of you to buy it.

I am sorry if what I say is blunt. I would rather you hear it from someone who is your age and kinda along the same wavelength as you.

Live long mate,

Michael.

 

Buy low, sell high, rinse and repeat... I'll send you my paypal info via PM.

 

You all are giving him bad advice...
It's really not hard to become a multi-millionaire at age 20.
There are a number of paths you could take:

You should either
A) become a famous actor
B) become a famous sports star
C) become a rock star
D) win the lottery.

See!! Super easy to make millions at a young age and impress the world with how cool you are in a Ferrari.....

 

if your parents have those cars chances are they aren't doing too badly themselves. Maybe follow in their footsteps? There's no guaranteed path to being successful enough to buy the latest and greatest exotic. The best advise I can give you for longer term success is to save and invest a lot. Stick to the basics. Diversify and buy high quality dividend paying stocks. This will ensure you financial security when you are much older. It sucks having to wait but you can certainly entertain yourselves with nice used 911s or bmw m3s for cheap in the interim.

BTW have you looked at 360 prices lately? Best bang for the buck exotic out there if you ask me. Sure it's not a 458 but it'll get you about 90% of the way there on an affordable budget.

 

At how wiping the milk from your mouth and starting adulthood and come ask in 10 years. Most here have homes, careers and kids .

And listen to you parents

 

Get in the hitman business. A high profile hit executed should net you a decent amount of money. Also, when people ask you what you do for a living, you get to say you're a hitman (that's pretty cool).

Don't get caught though.

 

There are no shortcuts to 458 ownership, short of winning the lottery or the gene pool. Work hard, invest, and spend wisely.

Odds of it happening any other way are slim. Getting ideas from the internet isn't a good start.

 

OMG! I completely forgot THE SECRET.

There is this guy named Reza.. he goes by the username "Oceansky" here on ferrarichat he's in Toronto.

1) If you give him money.. he can make you millions... or so he says. Much, MUCH better returns than even the legitimate experts here can create. Double, TRIPLE your money in no time whatsoever. How he does it I don't know... something about currency trading with a secret method.
2) If you believe this above, I have a bridge to sell you
3) Don't fall for the get rich quick BS. Don't be these types of guys. Kharma always bites or rewards in the end.

 

there is a kid on the lambo and lux4play forums selling the recipe for cheap via a book called something along the lines of "far from it"

let me know when i can get my cut


good luck

 

There are NO shortcuts! Work hard, get an education, and stay out of trouble. Of course there are no guarantees. But in America, you have a better shot at success than ANYWHERE on the planet. Because of the media/Hollywood, young people have been conditioned into thinking that they are entitled to money and material goods because.....well, they just are! I want it now, and I don't want to wait! You are entitled to absolutely nothing. I would go on to say that the vast majority of guys on this forum have worked their asses off and sacrificed to be able to afford the types of cars that are discussed here. Work for it and you will probably succeed.

I guess times have changed a little! My first car was 8 years old when it was handed down to me and required massive rust repairs - which I did myself. I loved that car and was thrilled to have it. I stayed home from high school graduation parties because I was changing the cam chain tensioner. :-(

I think you need to re-think the whole impressing your parents thing.

 

It is an easy four step process:
- build a time machine.
- travel back to January 2009.
- start a new unprofitable solar technology company funded with multi-hundred-million dollar government grants.
- pay yourself $20+ million a year as an executive salary out of that grant money.

Easy squeezy.
