Don't buy the boat, take half the money you would have spent buying the point, and send it to me, in five years you can send a card thanking me for the money you saved.


The same can be said for many hobbies.

Let the man get his boat.

the response every time somebody asks about a nonessential purchase is getting lame. if he's posting here, he gets that it isn't a great financial move. but if he can afford it, and it increases his quality of life, it's a worthwhile purchase.

Note to self: Do NOT mention the 911 GT3 that I'm looking at.

Sounds like the OP is paying cash for it and he's waiting til his kid finishes school, so have at it.

I'm a car guy - always have been. And even though I'd be ahead by six figures because of depreciation lost over the years, I can't say that I regret any sporty ride that I've bought. Now, if I was fighting a hungry kitten for the chunks left in the bottom of the cat food can, trying to get Dave Ramsey on the phone, I might tell a different story. But if you can afford it and you're buying it with eyes wide open, enjoy.
