Should I lease a BMW i8? I'm a new grad, living at home (don't pay rent), no kids, minimal responsibilities, already maxing out 401k. Thinking about leasing an i8, but feeling guilty about not saving the money. On the other hand I won't always be young with minimal responsibilities and bills and the i8 lease payment is much less than bay area rent if I was going to move out. Should I do it?

      Dude- get a tan and then go to the Nordic countries, if you have no responsibilities, you'll enjoy the Nordic countries :). If you don't, well, they have nice beer too.

      What's wrong with living with your parents? If the parents are okay with it, why waste all that money paying rent? It's not like parents are going to tent out his room otherwise and are hence loosing money. If you really want to feel like an adult, give the money (you'd otherwise pay as rent) to your parents.

      Everything wrong w this. Sure, a year or so here and there to do just what u described, but there's nothing sexy about bringing a lady back and passing your dad on the couch watching the nightly news. Something really attractive about adults w their own spots doing their thing self supporting. Don't think yes any long term way to be in adulthood. If you are doing this past 25 good-night

    Be cheap until you're rich and then keep being cheap.

  • I got one 3 years ago, 1 year after college. Was a though decision. One day I am driving it around the Hamptons, pretending I belong, even if I have a tiny studio in NYC and barely save any money. There, on the side of the street another I8 with the hood open. As a gentleman I stop to see what problem my fellow friend has. There I meet this gorgeous girl 2 years older than me. I help her out and wait for the tow truck to come. We exchange numbers, we meet a week later in Manhattan, we have a wonderful dinner and she invites me up to her place. We make sweet love from her penthouse apartment with the view of new york. 2 years later we are married. We got a kid last August. We broke the lease of my I8 and got one for a ferrari 458 spider. What's the point of having two I8 anyway.

    Morale of the story: expensive cars make you meet rich people that make your life even richer.

    Go get your lease, and don't listen to the suggestions of these 99.5 percenters, or you will be stuck down there, with your stinky studio, and no money for going to the Maldives.

    • Wait till he finds out her I8 was owned by her late husband that she took out with antifreeze in his coffee.

    • Lol. After driving a spider and seeing the sunshine on new york while in the balcony of our 7 rooms penthouse, she can give me all the antifreeze that she want. But she will not, because I am a great lover and an amazing father.
