If you have the option, always opt for a good home (your ideal apartment or living situation) over having a fancy car.
If anything, because we spend so much time at home now, being extremely picky with our living situation and abode is more important than ever!
Or in other words, optimize for your lifestyle over your material possessions, tools and things.
The most successful people I know have nice homes and good lifestyles, and whatever cars (or don’t own a car).
In fact, the best lifestyle is the life in which you don’t even need or own a car.
Lifestyle is underrated, cars are overrated.
And the least successful people have fancy cars and shitty homes or living situations.
