Quit smoking and drinking a few months ago and have a new addiction.

what kind of car do you have your eyes on?

i would suggest a ferrari. i was in walmart the other day looking for wipers for my truck and as i was browsing i seen they had them for those ferrari.

an SUV.

wow, how many ferrari wipers does walmart sell?

good for you. keep it up and you will get it. which suv?

You only live once and i live in the moment but new cars are nice

Looks like you lost the addiction demon and gained the covetousness demon.

A horse is a vain thing (Psalm 33:17)...but everything in satan's kingdom is. But hey if you feel the need you do it, until it becomes apparent that your at enmity with GOD (James 4:4) and you want to get the HOLY SPIRIT and get out. At that point they're gonna (essentially) shoot your horse.

Thanks. I just find myself obsessing about it at times. Just wasn't my pattern of thought I was used too and am not sure if it's a natural progression. Weird.

yeah, I found an old love of mine again. :)

so what do I need to do? Like, immediately believe in god or something?

good on you OP, i still say go for the ferrari.

You replace a couple bad habits with materialism, not good.

Good to hear OP. Enjoy the new car as now you'll be able to afford it with all the money you're saving.

No its the joy of doing good things and positive things so its like a reward system and you see your self improving and want to keep yourself improving. God bless you even more.

Hate to bust your bubble. Why spend money on something that you'll lose 25% as soon it's driven off the lot. More than likely you'll have it for less than 6 years and take another big hit when you trade it in or sell it out right. I know you hear this a lot in GLP but look into guns and precious metals. Guns are fun because you can customize them to fit your personality. Let's say you have spent 2K outfitting an AR. 2-3 years from now you'll be able to sell that same AR for 1800.00 if not more than what you have spent to build it. plus it fun to shoot shit:)

As for precious metals.....their precious metals!

Unless you have an huge amount of disposable income (which your post says otherwise) fuck the vehicle idea unless it's a purchase for profit.

I for one love to buy and sell firearms. The people you meet are usually like minded and honest people. I'm constantly looking for deals. I can average 300.00-1000.00 a month profit just doing something I love. It's also really rewarding to crack open the safe and count your bars or coins.

Keep the momentum. Keep a great healthy goal.


Your life is worth way more than that car, so whatever it takes to live a great healthy life!


Congratulations!!!

Your Subconscious is just constantly focused on how much $$$$$ you're saving by not smoking and drinking (let's face it , it's a CONSIDERABLE amount) and is gleeful at the prospect of something "constructive " to spend all that cash on.

Sounds healthy to me. Congrats!

Don't get a new Car. its the worse investment you'll ever make.

Do get something 2-3 years old with less than 40K Miles on it if you can for 40% less.

THIS^^^^

Thanks! Very re-assuring!

As for everyone else saying a new car is a bad investment? I don't fit the normal demographic for that average. The vehicle won't depreciate as quickly as other cars, PLUS, it will be MINE!
