i have to play devils advocate for a min here. i cant speak for anyone else but at 20 i wanted the brandy new car that looked good as well. the only difference is i actually bought one (which can be proven unlike photos that are posted on a board) and i regreted every min of it after the first week of having it cause my payments were insane.
even into my mid 20's, a house wasnt a priority. it wasnt until i hit my late 20's and now mid 30's that a house is truly everything (especially in this advantage taking market) and i can pick up a $500 car at a dealer auction (if it came to that) that would get me to the same places at a 50k car would.
50k depreciates 8k the min its driven off the lot.
250k house can appreciate 5-10k in a year depending on the town.
i really do enjoy getting older cause there is so much to learn.

However, you were also not going on industry message boards and saying you were smarter, a better business person, made more money, etc. than everyone else. Therein lies Little Grogans problem and why I make fun of him. :P
