au revoir Genesis

[Mark_888]

Opportunity cost always is an investment. The money I spend on the car could be spent somewhere else. The car pays me back in starting every month to allow me to make money, in peace of mind when I take my family vacation every year. Then every day when you get into your car and you feel good, there is nothing else that replaces that. I am a car enthusiast though. So the small things pay me back about my vehicle. The reason I say it is a big investment is because I believe I can get that same enjoyment out of another Genesis.

We all spend money on things we enjoy or that make us feel good, and I am not suggesting that you don't spend money on such things, but an investment is by definition something that (potentially) increases in value or at least keeps up with inflation.

And don't forget that once that sucker is paid off you have a that money in hand every month.

I haven't made a car payment since 1987, but it doesn't put money in my hands. It just takes less money out of my hands.
