Expenses

Why would you buy a $250,000 house or a $40,000 car? Screw that. My car was $8,000 so I only pay about $400 a month for a payment and insurance. Coming up very soon, I plan on getting a $400 - $600 a month apartment. That's pretty affordable on my salaray. You just have to look in the right places. Don't settle for something until you've looked everywhere.

Why? Because when you're a 25 year old professional, driving around in an $8,000 junker doesn't cut it, and renting an apartment is wasting your money because you don't get anything in return for your investment.

Do you seriously plan on renting an apartment and driving around in a Honda Civic for the rest of your life? I don't.

I'm driving around in an Infiniti G35 Coupe, decked out with options, and living in a 3 floor townhouse. You'll understand when you get older.
