I asked my husband, "What did you do to be able to afford a Porsche?"

My Family's Car Life

I can't afford a Porsche for the rest of my life.

Looking back, I have never experienced such intense success in my life. I would say that I was able to study to some extent in elementary, junior high, and high school, so when it came time to take the university entrance exam, I did not attend a prep school or cram school, but studied on my own and was able to enter one of the most difficult universities.

After that, although there were some small setbacks, I was able to enjoy working after I entered the workforce, and thanks to the help I received, I produced results, was recognized by the company, and received a higher salary. Things were going well up to that point.I took on the reckless challenge of starting a business at the age of 27 without knowing what was right or wrong, and there I experienced the biggest setback of my life.

And in the 10 years since I started my business, my confidence has completely gone to the ground (laughs).

Of course, the experiences I have gained over the past 10 years have been priceless and have become my blood, flesh, and fortune, but as for my "confidence," it has been completely shattered, leaving a huge hole in me.

Looking back, when I started writing this Porsche blog two and a half years ago, that was when I was most lacking in confidence. "No one would read this blog anyway.I used to write every day, thinking, "I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this.(Maybe that was a good thing, because it took some of the tension off my shoulders.)But after a while, as the number of readers grew and grew, I decided I had to take the blog more seriously.I want to buy myself a Porsche someday.and began to write about it in articles.

But I say this now, because at the time I was writing that, I was thinking, "I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.I can't do it. I can't afford a Porsche.I've always thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

If I were in my twenties, I wouldn't be earning enough money to make ends meet."Buy it!I might have bought it on the spur of the moment, but I had never had the courage to take such a risk because I had experienced quite a few financial difficulties after starting my own business.

So, while writing the Porsche Blog.Buying a Porsche on your own is a distant, far, far away, surely unfulfilled dream, above the clouds.The months passed by without a "Mere Old Man" being able to see it.

However, around the fall of last year, I began to see a change in my state of mind. Thanks to the growth of my blog and the relationships I have made with many people, I have gradually become more and more interested in the "I'm not a fan of theMaybe this will allow me, too, to buy a Porsche.It began to seem as if "the world is a big place," he said.

The growth of my blog has been partly due to luck, partly due to my husband's extraordinary cooperation and support, and partly due to the environment that he has created for me, but also due to the fact that I have been able to create a blog that has been able to grow and develop in the way that I want it to grow and develop.I was happy and confident that I had made an effort in my own way and faced the situation well, and that the results were steadily coming in.

The balance had been "0", or rather "minus".confidence reserveI guess you could say it's like when you start to save up a little bit of money and you can look at your bank book and smile a little (laughs).

Buy a Porsche by the age of 40.

Since I started blogging, I'veThe fact that I have come to meet and interact with many Porsche owners has also brought about a great change in me.Until now, "theBuying a Porsche is an outrageous thing, a cloudburst.I thought, "I'm not going to buy a Porsche," but when I came into contact with people who had bought several Porsches or were buying new ones, I thought, "I'm not going to buy a Porsche.Hey, I wonder if buying a Porsche is that difficult, or if I can do it myself.I've come to think of it as a "W".

It also used to be called "If you want to buy a Porsche, you need to pay cash in full.I was under the impression that "I can't pay 15 or 20 million yen in cash for the rest of my life.But when I learned that many Porsche owners purchased their Porsche with a loan, I thought, "I'm not going to buy a Porsche with a loan.Oh, that's about the monthly repayment... that's something I can work with.It also began to seem like a "good idea.

I think this was all because of the information and sensations I gained from being in the company of Porsche owners, and these were quite a big gain for me. In other words, in my case.

."A series of small successes restored his confidence."I put myself among the Porsche owners.This changed my mindset dramatically from "I can't afford a Porsche" to "I think I can afford one.

I still can't buy a Porsche, though (-_-)

For now, I want to try to finish paying off the BMW as soon as possible so that I can buy a Porsche next. And one thing is for sure.

In order to achieve a major goal for yourself, it is important to go outside the norm of the world, and then you can learn from the successes that you have achieved.The right method and direction of effortTo learn and steadily implement "The

So, I would like to learn a lot from my husband and other Porsche owners around me, and strive toward my goal of buying a Porsche myself.

I'm 37 now, almost 38, so hopefully I'll be able to buy one by the time I'm 40! Let's go for it!

    Mina.
    I understand your husband's story very well.
    I'm ashamed to say that where I'm standing now, I can't even compare, but I'm also making 00 a year at 30, driving the car of my choice, going independent in my 30s, making 00 a year at 40, opening locations nationwide in my 40s, and entrusting management with 50 vehicles, while traveling to locations nationwide in the car of my choice and checking the service conditions there undercover Enjoys communicating with customers while...
    I wrote a note and professed that I was going to do this (laughs).
    There are numerous things that are beyond my reach, but my confidence at that time was as you said, and I think that it was because I had goals, specific images I wanted to achieve, and KPIs such as annual income that I was able to get closer to who I wanted to be, and this is how I look back on it.
    And the fact that we were able to accomplish some things gives us even more confidence for the next one.
    (I'm in the middle of a small setback, and I'm struggling to get back to where I want to be (^...). ^))

    I am always impressed by your blog and think that Mina's energy is really great. Also, your point of view, your writing expression, and the way you spin your words are just right on target for me. I think it is because of your honest and unpretentious personality. I also share your husband's interests and tastes, and I look forward to your installations and updates.
    I would love to meet and talk with you when you have a chance.
    I hope you continue to enjoy writing your blog and that you continue to entertain your readers.

      Thank you for everything!
      mn1551mn, you wrote your goals in a notebook and even publicly stated them! That's amazing!
      I always think it is the coolest way to live your one and only life, envisioning the person you want to be and living a life of greed and challenge.

      Thank you also for saying that about my blog writing and my husband's hobbies.
      I'm so happy I'm about to cry (laughs).

      My husband always laughs at me, saying, "Mina-chan is like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms.
      I wonder if this nature is not easily fixed over time.

      We are always so grateful for the support of our warm readers.
      I will continue to enjoy updating this blog and will do my best to buy a Porsche by the time I turn 40.

    When I was in my 20s, my mother taught me that if I had something I wanted to achieve, I should first make it visible in some form. I wrote down vague ideas such as riding a roadster, not getting hurt on a motorcycle, and marrying a nice woman.

    When I look back on it in my 30s, I see that the goals in the memo were successfully accomplished, and I wonder if it was a success story made possible by the goals I set.

    For some reason, I had set a very low goal for my annual income, so I would like to set a bigger goal for my next goal.

    • Mina.Mina.

      YUKE.

      You are a wonderful mother!
      I've heard it said that just by being aware of your goals and imagining them, they're already as good as fulfilled.
      Once again, I realized the importance of writing things down.

      >For some reason, I had set a very low goal for my annual income, so I'd like to set a bigger goal next time.
      You're right! LOL!

    The master was, wasn't he?
    I thought on my own that he must have been the smart one since he was little.
    Certainly you can't be like that unless you want to be like this.
    It may be that you tell others about your goals and make them aware of them.
    Writing it down in a notebook would also be a good way to raise awareness.

      When I heard about my husband's grades in school, I laughed at him and said, "How can you get grades like that? I laughed at him.
      Her husband didn't study ^^;

      Life is not about what others think of you, but about what you want to do and be.
      I thought of this as I read your comments.

  4. You're kidding!

    I always read through it every morning before going to work. How are you feeling these days?

    I thought I would have a Porsche someday, and after paying off the mortgage on my house, I put the same amount into a Porsche savings account every month, but I could not make the decision to purchase one.
    One of the reasons was that my previous Mercedes Benz 211 wagon, an E320 CDI, was too good to be true. It had a great load capacity and the unique diesel acceleration was fantastic.
    The front of the car was too heavy for mountain roads, but on highways, the Mercedes-Benz ride was truly the most comfortable and fuel-efficient.
    I'll just keep this car until I die! and I think I had lost interest in cars back then (4 years ago).

    At that time, I happened to enter a cabaret club at the end of the street and had the following conversation with a woman in the same room.

    Female What do your customers like about cars?
    I'd like a Porsche 911 someday.
    Woman Which model of 911 do you want?
    Me ..... It's the newest one. (I didn't get the model number right away because I was drunk and not learning Porsche at the time.)
    Woman I work in the car business by day, and there are many Porsche fans like you.
    Woman You think a Porsche is just a luxury car and you just want it to look good.
    Women The 911 has a passionate fan base for each model, and those who purchase it for a good look are quick to let it go.
    Woman That car is only valuable when it runs, so if you just want to look good and drive around Tokyo, the current Mercedes Benz is the best.

    Gah! I had never been so completely outclassed by a 20-something (excuse me!) girl before in my life. I had never been so completely outclassed by a 20-something girl (excuse me!) before in my life. LOL!
    But I wasn't angry, and I didn't think it was rude. I thought you were right.
    After hearing her story, I vowed to follow through on my original intention, and after repeated visits to dealers and test drives, I ended up purchasing a new 991 car.
    When I told this story to my wife, who was wondering why I had suddenly started going to the dealer, she laughed out loud.

    If I had not met her then, I would still be driving a Mercedes, and I would not be reading this blog.
    In fact, after I made the purchase, I went to the store alone because I really wanted to thank her, but she had left the store in a residual stain. Tears
    Now I'm confident I could talk crap for hours and get revenge! LOL!

      Thank you for visiting our blog.
      Thanks to your help, my health is gradually improving.

      Lovely story.
      And that lady is amazing!
      Accurate.

      And the couple's relationship is also wonderful, as they tell this story to their wives and have a good laugh about it.

      Porsche is really a car that is meant to be driven.
      The more you ride, the more you become hooked on its charms.

      >I'm confident now that I could talk crap and revenge for hours! LOL!

      Too bad lol!

    So at 19 you realize that it's the average person who makes the common sense!
    I am envious.

    This finally dawned on me when I was over 30.
    Nevertheless.
    We are lucky to have realized it.

    Because only a few succeed.
    In other words, it is insane.

    If you put this into your unconscious mind, it will change your life.
    Most of our actions are unconscious.

    I have been driving a 981 Spyder, starting with a 981 2.7.

      It is true that common sense is not as reliable as one might think...
      I still get bound by common sense, so I feel like I've managed to flatten my thought process by being with people who are not bound by common sense ^^;

      That 981 Spyder from 981, looks absolutely fabulous!
      The sound of the 981 Spyder is my favorite Porsche engine sound I've ever heard!
