Buying a Porsche means stepping on the gas pedal of life.

My Family's Car Life

Buying a car

There is a world of "Oh, I like this car. I'll take it.There are some people who can afford to buy a luxury car without hesitation, but I believe that most people are prepared to buy a car with a certain degree of caution.

I bought it last year.Used BMW 320i (MT) costs less than 2.5 million yenI was very excited when I decided to buy a Porsche, even though the price was not that much compared to a new Porsche.

I wonder if I can repay you or something.(And I still have some start-up-related repayments to make.)...I'd better put the money I used to allocate to other things into repayment....

I thought a lot about this and so on. However, now, though, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able toI'm so glad I took the plunge and bought it then.I think."

This is because I have become accustomed to driving a MT car, which I had been so uncomfortable with, and I can now drive a Boxster or GT3 normally, and this has expanded my world.

Also, "The joy of being able to do what cannot be doneI was reminded once again of the beauty of the "Mere Old Man," and I began to think again that I would like to continue to live my life, even if it is a small thing, and continue to challenge myself every year.

Not just for cars.

To take the plunge and pay for it is toNothing can be said only when buying a car, but also in many other situations.It is. When I look back on my past, I think that starting a business was the same way.

I was really thrilled when I put all my savings into an account as capital.

I took a step forward with no guarantee of success or failure, but now I guess there is no turning back. I wonder if I will be able to pay my salary and make a living too.

I thought about it a lot. In reality, I could not achieve the results I wanted after 10 years of work, and my confidence temporarily bottomed out, but the experience I gained there was priceless, and my roots have grown thicker, so I have no regrets at all.

I guess it's the same with the trips and homestays I went on when I was a student. "I'll have to start working part-time again to save up the money.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do this," but I took the plunge and used it, and it was an invaluable experience.

When you're up for a challenge, you can't just say, "I'm going to try something."Money, time, know-how, and everything else can be done with 100% in place.There's not much of a "go" and usually something is missing and you have to GO. But there, "I can't do it because I don't have the money.Whether or not you say "I don't" and don't do it, or whether or not you can gather your wits and make a bold investment, I believe it will continue to have a significant impact on your subsequent life.

Saving money is important, of course, and I don't want to waste money. In fact, there were times when I wanted to spend money but could not spend it at all. But instead of stubbornly keeping my purse strings closed, I would say, "use when the moment arrivesLife seems to change with the "I'm not sure I'm ready for this.

Buying a Porsche means stepping on the gas pedal of life.

My husband used to

Every time I buy a car, I do a lot of financial calculations, thinking, "If I buy this, my monthly loan will increase again...will I be able to afford it?Let's make more money, work so hard that it won't hurt or itch to take out more loans.It is also a motivation to say "I'm not a good person.
So for me, buying a car is very important because it motivates me to get to work.
Although, when I first bought my first Boxster new, I was incredibly nervous. But now, I'm not so sure that I'm going to be able to afford to buy aWork hard to pay->Increase income->PayI think I'm starting to get the hang of the "cycle".
In my case, it's "car" and "Porsche," but I think anything else is fine.Whether it's a watch, shoes, or a house.Depending on how you feel, the act of pushing yourself to buy something can have a positive effect on your life and work.
For me, I could live a life of peace and saving without buying a Porsche, but I want to enjoy my life more and do what I love more.So I step on the gas pedal to live my life actively.One such act is buying a Porsche.

and so on.

My husband loves cars and is a true "No Car , No Life" person.Buying a car is not seen as "consumption" but as an "investment in life.I wonder. We also often talk about these things.

It doesn't have to be something as big as "taking the plunge and buying a Porsche," but I think it's important to think about paying money to invest in something. I often think of this when I see ATMs at the bank the day after my payday. During lunch break, there is a long line of people waiting in line. You have to wait a long time, even if you have to kill your lunch break.
But.I looked at the ATM at the convenience store next door and there was no one in line.There is a fee, but for a little over 100 yen, you can withdraw your money immediately and make the most of the rest of your lunch break.
But you know, I used to be like that, too, when I was standing in line.Fees are spared.I think of it as an investment in the broad sense of the word. I think this is also an investment in a broader sense.
I'm not saying that you should waste money, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't stand in line at the ATM, but I think it's very important to be able to think about this kind of investment when you're working.

And.

As I heard that, I thought to myself, "I have a web passbook with no convenience store fees up to 3 times each month, so I'm definitely being stingy to limit it to 3 times without paying fees..." w

I don't think there is any "right answer" because there are so many different ideas in the world. But at the very least, spending money with sound values will motivate you to earn again, and will cause you to think seriously about how you earn and how you work.The results are often positive for life.I thought to myself, "I wonder if this is the case," when I heard my husband's story.

Okay, I'll do my best.

    My father is almost never interested in cars.
    I rather dislike cars that look like supersports because they are not good for the public!

    I have had people ask me what the heck I was thinking, because I was adding so many cars to my fleet.

    A car is my life, so to tell me not to buy a supersport is to tell me to die.

    I answered seriously, not jokingly, "I'm not joking, I'm not joking, I'm not joking.

    By the way, there are some blog topics, such as Mina's blog topic about how to get your wife to understand...
    Likewise, I tell my wife this, so I don't talk to her about buying a car, nor do I hear her complain about the growing number of cars.

    It's a life gas pedal, no doubt about it, or rather, life itself.

      I see!
      The fact that both your father and his wife understand Kurumania's stance is
      It is because Kurumania-san never just talks the talk, but works hard for it, and is persuasive in word and deed as well.

      Amazing...!
      And I had assumed that Kurumania-san was single (laughs), but with a family, this lineup of cars, this youth, this insight.......
      Well, I was reminded that there are some amazing people in the world.

      >No doubt, or rather, life itself.
      Life itself!

    I know you have written before about whether buying a Porsche is an investment or a waste of money, but these themes resonate very much with me right now. LOL!

    Is it all about Porsche greed, and is it not conveniently viewed as an investment?
    Think about what you need to do to properly invest and accelerate yourself, and then do it.
    Think about how to use your time for this purpose.

    I will do my best to buy it by the end of this year and I am waiting for another article that will push me to buy it. I'll be waiting for another article that will push me forward.

      >Themes like this resonate with me so much right now. LOL!
      Thank you lol

      Once again, buying a Porsche is an amazing thing.
      It's an amazing commitment, and I think it's so big that it can change a person's life and work.

      >I will do my best to buy it by the end of this year, so I'm waiting for another article that will push me to buy it. LOL!
      I'm one of those people who's got your back as I write, I'll write again lol! Thank you!

    Good evening, Mima.

    This was a very sympathetic article.
    As for myself, I would say that for the engine that is me, the car is gasoline, the family is turbo, and the supercar is a hybrid system (laughs).
    Buying a car is just like stepping on the gas pedal.
    For those who are not interested in cars, it may seem like a splurge, a waste of money, but for people like us, it is essential because if they are deprived of their cars, they will run out of gas.

    People around me say all kinds of things, but because there is no right answer, I wish they would not say things that deny that way of life....

      Thank you for everything.
      Everyone has his or her own way of life, right?

      By the way, I like the words of Ryoma Sakamoto, "What I do, only I know.
      Well, I'm not living such an amazing life like Ryoma Sakamoto and accomplishing great things...^^..;

      You are truly a "No Car, No Life" person, aren't you, ds124!

    >But when I looked at the ATM at the convenience store next door, there was no one waiting in line. I know there is a fee, but if I pay a little over 100 yen, I can withdraw money right away and make good use of the rest of my lunch break.
    >I used to be the same way, but when I was standing in line, all I could think of was "I don't want to pay the fee," and I didn't have the thought process to use the 100 yen to buy myself some time. I think this kind of thing is also an investment in a broader sense.

    Hideyoshi at the time of the Great Return to China: "We do not have enough food for our troops now. To the farmers who offer rice to our army, we will return it tenfold after our victory over Mitsuhide."
    I remember this lol.

      Thank you for everything!

      I don't know if my husband has that kind of courage.............................
      The thought of investment seems to be important.
