Hope nobody saying "never" spent one penny more than they had to on the most basic of used cars to get from one place to another. So ridiculous.

Who does he think he is, Floyd Mayweather?

Never. Travel with that money. Donate it. Cars are not worth that much, plain and simple.

Do something good instead with that money.

Don't like any sports cars in that price range. Get Ford GT. Amazing thing.

Not OP but it sounds like this is a fairly recent jump in HBO, previously 500k living on 250k (which doesn't leave a ton after taxes).

Yeah me too, I'd rather give it away to something that would make a difference in someone else's life. . But then again I'll never make that kind of money. Seems you have enough money. Spend it how you want.

Never.

Seems like he can afford it. But does he want it? And if so, why? At that price, it's about saying you drive a very expensive car ... like a $3000 dollar bottle of wine. It doesn't taste that much different than one a good bit less.

Also, it will still get a door dent in whatever parking lot. He'll just care a lot more.

Then I'd be fine with it as long as it didn't become an "every year I want a $200k car" thing (reselling cars like that is a huge loss).

If you make $1.5M and live on $1.5M, there's no margin for an ultra luxury car.

What's your net worth and what are your annual expenses?

Our net worth is around 3m. Very low annual expenses. We probably spend around 250k per year. We are used to living on 500k income. Back then, we had student loans plus nanny expenses. I now stay home and DH earns triple what we used to earn.
