haha... all you fools with dreams of graduating school and buying an M3 
If that were true, don't you think everyone in the 22-25 year range would be driving an M3, WRX STI, Evo, Corvette, S2000, etc, etc??
Look around you. THINK for one second about why not everyone drives $50-60,000 sports cars?

Cause insurance rapes you on $50-50k sports cars 
I wouldn't mind having a ncie car right out of school since I'm going to save in school. However I feel it would be better to keep that money and save for another 5-6 yrs and then have a down payment on a house.

Yup - even something like buying major appliances. The money I've just spent on these things buys 2 nicely built EG Turbo's.
The more you make...the more you spend...and it's not always on cars.

Insurance is expensive for some of us....don't even ask.
But I know the many other bills that come with home owning are very pricey and it takes a good paying job to make all those payments.

Yeah, my insurance is $500/month 
When I was in high school I worked 30 hours a week, and graduated with an 82% average.
My money was split evenly between car/school/spending money.
Now i'm 19, and I have enough to move away from home when I go to college, enough for tuition, and enough to keep my car

im 22 years old, been working since i was 17 at the same company outta highschool... been doing machine shop work.
b/c i worked hard, ive had 3 cars in the last 2 years.. haha
even if i lose out on some money,,, it doesnt bother me.....
i give him respect at that age... i barely had a social life in highschool b/c i devoted alot of my time to working.... to understand what my parents go through to raise me up. so it gave me a better understanding how tough it is to make a living.
some have it easier then others...
i have car payments, bills, i got all that stuff that ties me in the real world.....
props buddy....
p.s as you grow older to understand more... it gets worse.

500 dollars a month is peanuts.
look at this ...
245 - insurance
250 - students loans
800 - credit card
200 - rent
thats my bills for the month and I know I got it easy if ElectronBlue or Cantonagod shared their month expenses it would blow the doors off your 500 for insurance.....
