I'm not playing into your desperation.

When the GT-R came out and did it's ring time, it was compared to a 911. Food for thought.

DINK status, from a financial standpoint, is where it is at. If my wife and I had no kids and no desire to have any, I'd probably have a new Cayman S as my weekend warrior and something like a GS350 or Acura RL as a daily. But, with two kids, there's always some other expense around the corner (especially with two girls). I'm in a house I wouldn't have bought if I didn't have children, plus there's college, weddings, etc that you never stop thinking about. I wouldn't trade any of it for a nicer car, but as a car fan, I definitely do dream about some of the toys I'd buy if I didn't have to worry about all of the above. Enjoy that $$$ from being a DINK!
I paid for college myself (not that it was expensive as I went to a public school here in crappy California)...yeah I had student dent for a little bit, but it wasn't bad. I rather my parents have save $50k for their retirement rather than them paying for my schooling (which in the end could have not worked out)...sorry...off topic...

I don't get why parents save for their kids college. Have your kids pay for it themselves! Kids can get student loans, apply for scholarships, etc and get the money. Usually they can get it pretty cheap too!!! However, you can't get a loan on retirement.

But more on topic... I'm definitely not going to use that extra money I'd put away for their college on buying a more expensive car. If I can afford a gently used Porsche and pay for their college, or a gently used Ferrari and not pay for their college, I'm choosing the Porsche. Lastly, if either of my kids gets a scholarship, or decides not to go to college for some crazy reason and over my strenuous objections, then I get all that money back, plus interest.
