questions, and am i wrong?

People dont seem to understand why i put so much money into cars. but tell me if this is wrong. i put all my money into my cars and girlfriend because i dont want to turn out like 95% of teenagers that spend all their money on booze, or short term happiness, i want to be the teenager with the nice trucks, cars. and go somewhere in my life by the time im 25. but is this wrong to think like that?

ok heres my take on it. when i was young i used to put all my money into my bmx bike, then it moved to cars. i made good money (compared to my friends) right out of high school so i was constantly working on them, dumping just about all my extra (bills first and had 401K money coming out the pay check real early on) money into them and it continues today. i have fun doing it and all but looking back now, i wish i would have said screw the cars and traveled more. there is a ton of things out there to see. infact i tell my 15 year old boy all the time, don't mess with these stupid cars till you are older , while young go see the world. i'm finally starting to travel some now but its a lot harder with two kids a mortgage and things like that. would be a lot easier to travel when younger and do the car thing when older in my opinion.

that being said, your a lot better off toying with the cars over the drugs and booze thats for sure.
