No it doesn't. This is just another trolling thread from the OP. If you notice, most of them are similar to this one.

Everything is relative! There is no right answer.


you also have to understand there was an article that compared buying a home vs. living in an apartment. And it went to showed that if YOU knew your finances and accounting, that assuming all equal cost, that living in an apartment and saving the difference and putting it in savings compounds faster after 30 years versus the appreciatio of a house. That is also because a savings account doesn't lose equity, only inflation. But a house can not only lose value due to inflation but also due to the volatile market.
Too many variables for that to be accurate. Location of said homes? Interest rate on savings accounts is 1% tops.

I doubt he is actually talking about an actual "savings account", probably an investment account. Should conservatively be closer to 10% there.

Do what makes you happy and always remember that happiness is relative. Do you guys realize you are grown adults arguing on a forum about people's financial situations? You sound like freaking highschoolers.

Well, what do you expect us to argue: e90 335 vs e90 328? Or which oil to use?

I would expect for people to stick to the topic of the thread. It always veers to "my d*** is bigger than yours".

Also, if I lived in an apartment - I would want to drive something better than a BMW with all of the money saved!



A Ferrari will offset any haters. The girls won't know any difference either.

Want a newer Ferrari? Get a one bedroom apartment with a roommate. Think girls will mind? Nope! Not when they see this bunk bed.

Move in! You already have the BMW!

Plot twist: Just realized that OP said newer BMW. You can drive a newer BMW for just over $10k. (2011 328i) I could swing those payments. I do wonder what would happen if I had to pay for maintenance though.

I do remember a friend driving an old mid 90s base model 3 series and saying that for what it was, it handled and felt really good.

Maybe I should pay to play.

My father-in-law had an E36 328i and my friend has a E36 M3. If you can deal with the maintenance they are pretty fun cars to drive on a level that today's relatively disconnected cars rarely come close to.

i guess it depends on what model of BMW are you driving. driving a 3er is probably the same or cheaper than my next door neighbor's Tahoe or Infiniti. But if you say driving a new 7 or M6 then that would be different story. but to each his own. priorities are different for everyone.
to me i would live in an average house with cars i like even if i had a Lambo of F car
i don't need a mansion and drive something like a Camry that i don't feel anything for

It looks like something that would be used as a film set for Jersey Shore. Can I be Ronnie? I've been working on my biceps and stuff.
