[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He wants a Porsche Boxster. With the options he wants, it’s around 110k. He makes &gt; 500k.

We “technically” have a net worth over 6 million BUT 750k is money earmarked for kids’ educations, ~ 500k is our house, and ~ 300 is in illiquid investments.

Liquid investments excluding the 529s is probably around 4.5 million.

No debt.

He already has an expensive car (SUV) so idk why he needs another one. But I feel bad saying no since we can technically afford it.

Can you think of reasons to say no?[/quote]

boxsters are fun. SUVs are family haulers, they are not viscerally fun. let him buy the car but make sure his life insurance policy is up-to-date. also tell him he needs to schedule regular dates with you. Figure out a hairstyle that can handle zooming around in a convertible. A convertible is much less expensive than a mistress, let the guy enjoy the money he's making.[/quote]

PP here. To be clear, I say this as a woman who has owned a (then 100k) porsche for the last 24 years. I bought it after I made my first million. Still love that car, so much. (currently trying to figure out how to wedge a carseat for my toddler in the back.)[/quote]
