In my wildest dreams, I have never imagined that I would be able to afford such a car.

And I still really cant. I mean I could, but it would be a very stupid move. If I am being responsible at all, it is a complete waste of hard earned savings that I have plans for.

However, as I am thinking about things, why not plan for the next few years.

Without boozing these last few weeks, I have saved an embarrassing amount of money. If I could stay off the sauce (appears pretty easy right now) and save what I was spending....with a little more on top.

In 4 to 5 years, I can likely afford to pay in cash. This would not effect my retirement planning, savings planning, when I die planning, or my watch/vacation fund.

Well, it would mean a serious change to my watch habit. But that has been changing, albeit slowly, for the last year or so anyway.

The challenge is that, in this regard, I am not a long term thinker. I have not had a watch or a car, last me near to three years....let alone set a savings plan for that long (besides retirement and long term investments).

But...upon continued thought. This is a worthy goal for a guy that has always dreamed about a Ferrari.

So that is my new goal. And I figured I would share it with all you fine folk.

Wish me luck...I am going to need it.

Good Luck Seth, I think you will be there sooner you think

Abdullah71601 · 23 January 2018, 02:09 AM

In the grand scheme of things, it’s just around the corner.

Staying disciplined will be the hard part. Have you considered starting a seperate bank account for the Ferrari fund that you have to purposely plunder to use the funds?

I love this idea and do it for other things.

I am going to turn the watch fund into he Ferrari fund. I have a couple of bucks in it already so I have a small start.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I have a sneaky suspicion you could afford it either way.

For the love of god, how much could one save by stopping drinking to buy a Ferrari? That's a LOT of drinking.

Good luck on your fund. It's sure as hell a lot healthier than drinking.

Good luck! Imagine how much more you could save if you also cut out the Transexual Hookers.

It’s not just the booze. Although that’s a lot.

But the dinners and the dumb things I agree to or do while boozing.

It added up fast.

droptopman · 23 January 2018, 02:45 AM

Great plan Seth. I have been sober 20+ years and do not miss it at all. All those funds go for other fun....

Using a separate account is a great way to accomplish this. I did exactly what you are describing a couple years ago, moved the watch fund into a car fund. Once I slowed down on watch flipping, there was really nothing I wanted watch wise so used the money for car instead. Wife was shocked as I had a dedicated watch fund for many years.

Good luck brother!

breitlings · 23 January 2018, 02:53 AM

If you are buying in 4-5 years maybe get a portofino, which is a california on steroids. I would also consider buying one with a mechanic you trust. They cover the repairs, part of the monthly, get to use it an amount you agree upon, you have the right to buy them out. I have heard though that if you buy new you get a 7 year warranty and 7 years of maintenance. You could also buy something that has been depreciated and is about to climb. Like a 360 would be very interesting, not old enough to be vintage, not new enough to be sought after, that is what my neighbor whispered to me once upon a time. I like the 456 manual as well. I was about to buy one, on the phone with the seller asking about condition when he told me he sold it (as we were speaking...).
