So this is probably a really stupid question, but I'm a tight wad, so I got to ask it anyways.

Okay.

So I'm in Baby Step 7, my wife and I, and we're 27.

And really the problem with my question is I feel like I just

have too much my net worth wrapped up in my house but I just recently bought a Mercedes class

all right maybe a day or two ago um and just emotionally to me feels like I spent way too much money on

something that goes down in value and it just eats me up thinking about what I could put that money on something that goes down in value, and it just

eats me up thinking about what I could put that money in that would go up in value. And so my question

is, should I take this stupid car back? Well, let's talk about what you spent on it. So after taxes

and fees and all that junk is about 35 grand.

All right. And what's your household income?

The last two years I've averaged about 250.

Well, there's some ratios for you. That puts it in perspective. How much do you have tied up and everything with wheels and motors in your house right now?

It's only got 45000 counting the Mercedes.

Yeah.

Okay.

You're driving an older car for the other car.

Dave would have said you should have bought a nicer car.

You're not doing anything.

Both of my cars outside of the Mercedes are probably worth $10,000 total.
