Yeah, I'm serious.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately. As sad as it makes me to see it go, I really need to be a little more practical until my GF graduates next year.

I was going to try to add some words of wisdom and then I noticed my camera bag sitting on the futon in my office.
I'm a terrible example for you and have no room giving anyone advice on how to not spend money!

And the Z isn't my only vice either... cameras, computers, gadgets, electronics, games... and don't get me started on my addiction to Disney World... the list goes on and on. The car stuff is just the most expensive. If you include payments and insurance, I've spent around $15,000 on the Z in 16 months.

In that case, selling the Z isn't going to solve your problems. You'll just find a new place to spend the money you aren't spending on the Z.
You need to sit down and write out a budget and stick to it. Have more money taken out of your pay for savings and retirement. Set up your savings account so it's inconvenient to get the money out. In other words, don't allow for automatic autodraft protection/transfer or electronic access to transfer the money to different accounts.
Buy a house or open a business. That'll put an end to your spending habits real fast!

It's not that I don't have the money. That's actually my problem. I do have it and I'm spending it way too much. I have a house and I'm pretty good about sticking to my budget. I save, I contribute the max to my 401k, I have a house, two new cars, a motorcycle and various other stuff.

I also run own company. That's part of the reason I've had so much disposable cash this year. I've done twice as much business in 2013 as I have in any other year since I started it. It's a good problem to have but I want to make sure I'm not just blowing it on crap for the sake of having the coolest car on the block.

In a nutshell, I just don't want my car to be a financial priority right now. I will again later. Just not right now.
