    Is not a ski boat not a 'silly impractical thing'? I would feel like an absolute twit driving round in a 4wd, turbo diesel ute or a hotted up v8 ute.(see below) People would laugh their heads off a hotted up V8 ute with the huge spotties, the oversize bull bar and B&S stickers on the back...

    Dude, why are you constantly trying to pull the guy down to your level? Sounds like jealousy to me. I have noticed quite a bit of that on this thread. Why so much negativity? In my mind. You achieve what you think you can. Henry Ford said "If you think you can do a thing or think you...

    Is saving money the equivalent of delaying gratification? I don't think so. They aren't mutually exclusive. And who mentioned anything baout 'spending it all on crap'? A Porsche or an Audi are not crap. Maybe to you it is but, again, you arent everyone. I started a sole person business in...

    Boxers become better boxers by constantly sparring opponents above their own weight. Business people/investors/etc become better and more successful by constantly getting out of their comfort zone. (fighting above their weight) I cant understand the mindset of buying a 5k or 10k car (or...

    Totally disagree. Thats a property investment mindset, mostly not a business one. It might be your experience but not everyones. Mostly people get rich with risk, not delayed gratification.

    They obviously don't see it as a waste of money. The first TT looked feminine but the 2nd (this one) is an improvement i think. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was always a BMW fan (and owner) but i think they've lost the plot these last few years and i love the look...

    One of the traits of successful people is they usually don't give a toss what others think of them. That's why they're successful and mostly don't subscribe to the tall poppy syndrome. If being thought of as a 'tosser' worries you....well.....i'd rather the Porsche :D (and the obvious success)...
