Be brave. You know the answer, you’ve been reading and learning and you see a better path, now act. Yes, it’s uncomfortable but it will complete your growth. This sacrifice will teach you so much, you don’t need everything now that you thought you did. It will sink in. You will feel powerful for making the difficult but smart choice. Build your stache, get to where you want to be and maybe, later down the line when you’re free and have the opportunity and means to do it again, you revisit this car and truly enjoy it. Take your ego and emotion out, and manage your finances like you would for a company.
