After 10 Years!
 

Hey guys, my name is Brett and I've been saving up for a new car since I was 10. I mowed lawns in the summer and saved up cash since then. Im now 20 years old and my dad is going to throw in 5k into my account. (Like he said he would, if I saved my money). I've had 3 FC's and I love RX-7's. Yesterday, I went to the Mazda dealership and got me a black RX-8. Fully loaded with NAV, Leather, and everything. I love it.

Congrats! 10 years from now you will wish you had put the money into a 401K or some other type of investment account ;)

Enjoy your ride!

Woah, 10 Years. That's what I call determination! You should be the new model for every 10 year old out there. I on the other hand haven't worked as long as you have (about 5 years working in the family business and saving up tips). You really deserve to give yourself a pat on the back for all those years. I bet you feel so much satisfaction for not giving up on your dreams of finally owning something you worked so hard for. :)

What are you doing still sitting here and reading this? Go out and drive her! :) ...Oh forgot, welcome to the forum!

Wow, now that's is serious dedication of purpose. Congratulations and welcome.

congrats and welcome to the forum

That's awesome, hope you enjoy your '8!

damn kids today! priorites all wrong! out working saving money of all things! you should have been out playing partying hell raising and skirt chasing! what the hell you doing? trying to make us older fellows look bad, because we didn't save a dime before we were 25?












seriously though have fun in the new car and welcome aboard!!;)

Ha, I'm still only 20...I still have a lot of skirt chasing to do. Only now, it's a lot easier in my new 8 :). Im at work right now, kinda bad that I have a window because all I have been doing is staring at her.

Very impressive - welcome to the Club, and congrats on your decision. You will be the envy of all your friends!

what a great example of motivation and perserverence!
enjoy your ride!

Kanja, I must say your timing was perfect. Did you consider any other cars? Quite a tribute to the 8,that you picked it.

Awesome! Sounds great. I wish I had done that! :D

how much did you save up since you were 10?

congrats

I admire your saving habits

Dang Generation Y'er!
Making us Gen X'ers look bad...

Seriously congratulations, and drive safely. Good color choice too. Now get some Zaino.....you'll need it.

congrats

Good for you, and you certainly deserve that 8!

Of course now that you have learnt how to save, keep doing it. If you start putting money away in year or two, by the time you are in your late twenties, you'll be able to put a down payment on a house, and have made great strides to financial independence. Until then . . . chase some skirts! There is no more noble pass time for a twenty year old ;) .

I saved up 23k dollars. When I went in the dealership, I found a black one, said I wanted it and told them I had 28k dollars in cash, they didn't say no :)

wow, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I think from the way you saved up for your 8, it's probably worth 10 times more than a regular one =)
enjoy! :D

Wow, nice job man. CONGRATS on the car, and your determination to save. Ain't it wonderful? :D

Congrats on having the willpower to save those $$$$
