It's tricky. I am usually quite conservative with money and a planner etc but I am nearly 50, who knows how long you have left? I bought a 15 yr old 911 as a fairweather car, it was an absurd purchase really, total of 80K CDn which is mad money for a car. However I continue to DD a beater I have had for 14 years and owes me nothing and if shit hits the fan a 911 is a liquid asset and can be sold for very near what I paid for it. You can see me tie myself in knots here

Not being a sniper but you have a well loaded new X5 in your profile, that's gotta be what, 70 grand? You could in theory drive a 10 year old CRV and weekend a 911 for the same money.
I hear you, 100pc, but I just felt it was now or never and you don't know what can happen to you as you get past 40.
