I have never had a car payment purchased all of my vehicles with cash. If you invest right young (and are kind of lucky) you have a lot more time to make money and much more time to take risks

I currently own four rental properties with one partner, 6 commerical buildings with another partner, add that to my day job and I am bringing in a decent amount a year more then enough to play with and invest for the future
