I understand that, but there are two types of saving: saving to spend, and saving to prepare for future mishaps or unfortunate circumstances.
I'm really not trying to rag on you, but you posted a thread the other day about rims for the Cobalt, and now you're looking at an '82 Rabbit. You yourself posted that you had no real need for it, but that you wanted it.
I'm at the point in my life where my education is quickly coming to an end, and I really, REALLY need to get a job. Job market for paid positions out here in my field blows right now, and had I been able to secure a paid internship this summer, I would have upgraded to an apartment downtown that offered a few more conveniences for only a couple hundred more per month. But, alas, I was a top candidate, but not THE top candidate for several positions, and I'm trying to figure things out...but I am renewing my lease for another 12 months and saving $6-7k. I hope to have found a job in a year, but if circumstances stay unfavorable, I at least will have something to tide me over for a few more months. No one has a crystal ball, but I don't want to ever be in a situation where I am truly destitute and wishing I hadn't spent so much back when I had money to spend. That's where I'm coming from on this. Your finances aren't my business and I do not pretend to have any real insight into your situation, but I hope you at least consider some of what I'm saying even if you ultimately decide to do otherwise.
