You're pretty young to be able to afford the perf you have. That's quite an an achievement.
I don't know how in the US for example, I heard from business owners their tradesmen like electrician and plumbers would make over 100K a year in salary. I find it unbelievable as here if you make that much you are in the top 10% of earners. I always thought why aren't all these tradesmen own a Lambo or Ferrari?
Thank you, I'll share my story one day. It did not come easy for me either. And don't worry, I'm not an influencer haha. I really dislike those people who state "I bought my dream car at such and such age" and post it on their socials as if to seek validation. I always find that so cringy. And most who do that seem to still live in their parents basement and are upsidedown on a loan, so they're actually doing themselves a disservice in life by pursuing a supercar before they're ready. Anybody can 'buy' a Lambo, but keeping one long-term is the real flex. Once the reality of ownership costs hit, so many get out of the car after a year or so.
But it seems 30s isn't so young to own a Lambo anymore, as that guy in the other thread was saying most Huracan owners he sees are early 20s? That hasn't been my experience. Sure there's the odd outlier, but most owners I've met have been in that 45-55 range as Sakura had estimated. So I do feel very fortunate and humble to have been in a position to acquire one a little sooner, but I was sure to take care of all the important things first.
And to your last point about the trades guys, it's easy to think that way when you're a car enthusiast like us. But the truth is not every guy is into cars and many people couldn't care less what they drive, so they don't care to spend big money on vehicles. It's just a means of getting from point A to point B for many people.
In fact, some of the wealthiest guys I know drive basic vehicles like an RDX or an Altima because quite frankly, they just don't care. I always used to think having money automatically equated to having nice cars. But in my social circle, it's exactly the opposite. The guys with the nicer vehicles have the lowest net worth and many stretched to finance or lease their cars which is a big no no when your other priorities aren't in line.
