buy a camaro and stay at home. Sucks you can't bring chicks home but its a small price to pay.

lwlkr92 · 12-16-2009, 09:26 PM

Option B. The car is great, being out on your own is priceless!

Well, without knowing any specifics of your entire life, your parents, your $$$ situation...I'd probably get a place of my own...buying a Camaro will probably only mean you'll be living under their roof longer. You could always wait a year or 2 and get a used Camaro much cheaper.

How well do you get along with your folks. If well, stay there for ever, buy as many toys as you want and save the rest. Someday you might end up with their house.

your pretty much right on make ten bucks an hour would keep me here at least another 5 to 6 years 350+ car payment would not be able to afford no rent . really think about getting a snowmobile seeing im stuck in crappy NY instead and getting a apartment with a buddy of mine

The other side of that is when you're living on your own (and spending more $$)...it's gonna take longer to buy a Camaro.

Sorry, it really comes down to your priorities. Either way, If it was me, I'd wait a little longer and buy one USED. The less debt, the better.

when i lived in ny i stayed wit my parents til i was 27(so i could save for camaro) now i left ny and live here in nebraska best of both worlds i guess

AZCamaroFan · 12-16-2009, 09:43 PM

it depends. do you help your parents out? is that part of the reason you live there? it's hard to say not knowing your life.

kunkelz28 · 12-16-2009, 10:02 PM

Well there some really good deals on interest rates for homes and the first time homebuyers credit won't be around forever plus in most states houses are pretty cheap right now so I would say buy a house before the car, I bought my first house when I was a broke 19 year old college student and it was the best decision i have ever made, but if you decide to buy the car and live with your parents then use that as a mean to pay it off within 1-2 years then buy a house with a fully paid off camaro...
