Hey, I appreciate y'all taking my call.
Hey, I appreciate y'all taking my call.
So this is probably a really stupid question, but I'm a tightwad, so I've got to ask it anyways. Okay. So I'm in Baby Step 7, my wife and I, and we're 27. And really the problem with my question is I feel like I just have too much of my net worth wrapped up in my house. But I just recently bought a Mercedes S-Class. maybe a day or two ago.

And really the problem with my question is I feel like I just have too much of my net worth wrapped up in my house. But I just recently bought a Mercedes S-Class. maybe a day or two ago.
And just emotionally to me, it feels like I spent way too much money on something that goes down in value. And it just eats me up thinking about what I could put that money in that would go up in value. And so my question is just, should I take this stupid car back?

Probably about 45 grand, counting the Mercedes. Yeah.
You're not doing anything wrong. Both of my cars outside of the Mercedes are probably worth $10,000 total. I understand ratio-wise it sounds okay, but emotionally it doesn't feel right to write a check for something that goes down in value when I could put that in something like some mutual funds retirement, whatever.

Well, what I mean is basically all in, all in, we're worth about $750,000, and about $550,000 of that is in my house. Okay. So it just feels like cash-wise, I feel like $35,000 is rich out of the cash that I have available is what I mean. It's not.

Yeah, maybe my parents had some money for sure.
Yeah, maybe my parents had some money for sure.
Well, I'll tell you what, honestly, what I think it is, is honestly that I've just been so aggressive since I was 18. Because, I mean, you know, just doing this since I was 18 and, you know, doing this without marriage, that it almost feels like, you know, I need to stay aggressive. You know what I mean? And so, you know, we just fought and clawed so hard to pay our house off and the whole deal.
