I'll tell you what happened when I chose the second path.
I bought an R8. Not because it was practical. Because it opened doors...
...doors I didn’t even know existed.
I found myself surrounded by people thinking way beyond where I was. One of them took me under his wing and later sold me Watch Trading Software.

You can't calculate the ROI of relationships, experiences, and the way people perceive you when you show up differently.
I'm not saying go into debt for a car. What I'm saying is the things you invest in shape the opportunities that find you.
Saving a couple hundred a month on fuel is fine. But I knew it wouldn't change my trajectory.
What have you invested in that opened unexpected doors?
Some people optimize for MPG. Others optimize for experience.
