Can I afford a Ferrari (or supercar) by the time I’m 25?

It’s always been a dream of mine to own a supercar. Especially a Ferrari.

I’m currently 20 years old making $0 per year. I’m a student in uni.

If I was able to get a job paying me $60k AUD, you think I’d be able to afford a Ferrari in 5 years?

Nothing too extravagant, just like a 360 ($180k) or F430 ($260k) or maybe even a 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo ($260k)

If not, I think I’ll have to go for the 1st generation r8 ($170k).

360s and 430s are pretty notorious to work on. Might be a reason they are so affordable these days.

If you have no hand skills and will rely on mechanics, probably avoid these cars.

You know, now that I think about it, I think it’s better if I go for an 1st gen Audi R8 or bmw i8. Or which ever cheaper supercar is released by that time.

Don't be a dumb kunt

You don't own a supercar on $60k

Invest that **** wisely, think about it again when you own your own house or have considerable assets

I’m interested in learning how to fix up the car tbh.

I'm gonna say this as nicely as possible but the chances are stacked heavily against you. Not only do your priorities change but with rent, bills, utilities, food, going out etc. you will hardly have any left.

Get one. Italian vehicles are amazing, just don't expect to replace pats easily like you would with a Land Cruiser.
Got two Italians in the garage and they are definitely frustrating to work on but you do learn a lot.

Increase income to mid 6 figures by 30 (which is doable in Australia). Own your house (or a significant portion paid off), have your investments and super underway then consider it.

Don't get into LTRs in relationships either. Watch Entrepreneurs and Cars videos and get red pilled asap.

Chase Excellence Not Women.
Thanks for the reply. By mid 6s you mean like $150k not $500k, right?

I think that’s a good idea tbh. My dream job is basically a cardiothoracic surgeon or electrical engineer. So I think that’ll be enough for mid 100ks.

And I still want to get into a relationship. I’m beyond red-pilled. I’m blackpilled. It’s easy to say, “don’t get into a relationship” when you’ve already been in relationships.

But when you’re like me (virgin) and never experienced going on a date, then you kind of want to have that experience.

The red pill also makes blanket statements about women. Not all women are a waste of time or money.

You've never been in a relationship you can't be red pilled.

Smash some slampigs, >30s or hookers (they are all the same value despite what they will lead you to believe) to get it out of your system so you don't waste time.

The red pill is truth. The exception proves the rule. You won't find a girl who you are in a position to settle down with until you have other chit sorted especially as a 20+ year old virgin. Bang some sloots on Tinder or Hinge or pick some sloots up at a bar when they open up but other than that focus on your Career
It’s possible to reach that before 30? I mean guess it would be if I’m a surgeon, but I don’t think it’s common.

I have learnt and understood the red pill philosophies. A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

Entering one relationship (or even a few) doesn’t prove AWALT. Like most red pillers date the same types of girls. Party girls, girl with bipolar disorder, girls with high body counts, etc. Maybe try date someone who has values.

And I don’t want to go around banging random women. I’m a Christian.

The most expensive part of owning a supercar isn't the cost of the car it's the insurance and maintenance. you can expect to pay 20-30k a year just on that

Yeah bro you can afford a supercar while making slightly above minimum wage
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

not even 1 percenters realistically buy a 100k-200k car

then again I doubt the majority of people buying supercars can actually afford them anyway
