Every luxury takes work to pay for. Even a fancy car for people making well over six figures is a financial ball and chain. Think long and hard about the stuff you buy.

Every expense delays your retirement. If you need $60k per year to retire, and you buy a $60k car in your 30's, congratulations, you just delayed your retirement by over a year. Very few people think about that stuff in their 20's and 30's, but I promise that your 40's and 50's are just around the corner, and you'll be thinking about it a lot by then.
