Motoracer...didn't mean to offend you. Good luck in your pianist career. I'm trying to talk to you like I would to my 24 yo sister, or like my father talked to me. I wanted to be an artist - was pretty damn good too. My family told me to take any path in life I wanted, but to know where the path leads. Most artists live modest lives, with little job security, and don't drive ferrari's. I understood my dads point. Good luck with the music career. I took guitar lessons for a good long while, my sister took piano lessons. Probably did pay 50$/hr. I can tell you that none of the music teachers drove ferraris...most had a broken down 20 yo car. Now, if you take the money you make as a music teacher and invest in realestate or stocks or even a small business, you may have lots of disposable income one day. But if you are already blowing all of your money on cars, before you have a home and investments, you are already going down the wrong path. Owning a new Ford and BMW may seem cool, but puts you in the SPENDER category, not the INVESTOR category. You are buyin DEPRECIATING liabilities, not assets. I may be full of it, and perhaps you will be one of the worlds leading pianists. Odds to do that are low. If you invest, you are more likely to achieve your goals...good luck!
I was in college for 6 years coming out w/ 3 degrees. You need a better plan. When my dad died last year I could finally afford my Ferrari. Of course, you might be a Bill Gates on a keyboard.
Well anything is possible as they say. Think carefully before commiting to your first f car as there are other priorities in life that you have to straighthen out. House, job security, wife (the most expensive, more than your f car), kids (in the future) and lastly occasionally maintenance bill. However, good luck and think straight before making a purchase. I know a f car is pretty irresistable but be smart.
