Hi,
I've got a Tesla Model 3 on reserve, that I put down $1,000 to hold 2 years ago.
At that time, I was pretty sure I couldn't afford it, but I am a huge believer in Elon Musk and electric vehicles. The $1,000 is completely refundable, so my only risk was not having that money to invest.
I'm waiting for the "Standard" $35k model, and hoping that the $7,500 Federal Tax rebate is still in place by the time I get my vehicle.
My invite to configure the car may be right around the corner. I am feeling much more comfortable that I can afford this car, then I came across the MMM website and am understandably having second thoughts.
A little about me: I'm 48, single, no kids, make $90K/year, max out my 401(k) and Roth IRA, and the only debt is my house (currently at $180k) I'd be quite happy to retire at 55.
Obviously most mustachians would say a $35k new car is insane, but I feel very strongly about this car and have waited a long time.
Not sure if I want to be talked out or talked into this.
