Wouldn’t you want to annualize the value over the expected life of the asset? Doesn’t really allow for meaningful comparisons if you don’t. At any rate:

2017 BMW X1 (55K) - TC 170K - Atlanta - 32%

I am LOVING all these comments for 0. I have a 2004 Ford Mustang that’s been paid off for ten years now, and it’s still a champion. My family gives me a hard time, always asking when I’m going to replace it, but I have no reason to replace it! I love my car and my 0 car payments.

Just bought a Model 3, I’ve been ubering a few hours on the weekend, not Because I’m desperate, I genuinely love driving this thing and showing it off. I also rent out my other cars so all in I pay $250/mo for the remaining payments and insurance on all my cars or 2% of my income.

I believe if you can get creative on how to make more money, then buy what you want. Don’t “cut back” or “budget” find a way to create more income to live a life you want.

I used to be the “buy a corolla and drive it til it dies” type of person, but I didn’t want life to fly by and be the silver haired guy finally getting his corvette or s class at age 55 to finally enjoy it

Interesting to see people talk about spending money on a depreciating asset for couple of months of new toy pleasure. Wonder how it feels when a new model comes out and the current ones seems so out of place. How do you control the itch to trade in and drop another boatload on something which drops by 30% as soon as you drive out of dealership

No, I can not write that of since it is already the company car rate. I know that this is a lot of money but most of our holidays (we love road trips through south Europe) are done with that car, I don’t have other expensive vices such as partying, expensive clothes or other stuff so that works for me :).
