Investing vs Buying a Nice Car? or Try to Do Both? I am Young, Worth It ?

Investor summaryNeutral

A young investor asks whether to prioritize investing extra income or buying a nice car to enjoy life.

Post body

Hey everyone,

I’m in my 20s, currently investing $1,000/month into VT ETF, and working on growing my income with side gigs.

Now I’m stuck between:

  • continuing to invest all extra money, or
  • buying a nice car

I know the long-term value of investing early, but I also feel like this is the age to actually enjoy things a bit.

For those who’ve been here:

  • Did you go for the car, worth it or regret it?
  • Or did you prioritize investing, happy you did?
  • Anyone manage to balance both?

Would love to hear real experiences.
