The way I see it, cars are my thing, i pour all of my finances into my car. Other people like blowing their money on clubbing, shopping or holidays. Different people have different priorities.
I have earnt alot more than my mates have (even though alot of them had their parents pay 1/2 of their cars, i paid all of mine). I worked solidly for a while in the lead up to my car, just packing everything away. I saved for aprox 4 years, christmas money, birthday money, jobs, chores around the house, slowly it grows. I was surprised at how easy it was.
