Fair enough my parents do relieve the burden of tuition and room and board leaving me much more disposable income with my current income, but I still feel in ten or fifteen years time with smart investing and a steady job I should be able to sustain a 16M on my own without major sacrifice to my quality of life. Granted I don't plan on living in a ten thousand square foot mansion with a 50 acre back yard, a nice 4 bedroom house would do me just fine. It's really about priorities. I'm sure many of the members here could afford a 16M if they didn't have mansions, likewise many Ferrari owners could probably own much more extravagant houses if they didn't own a Ferrari. That's not to say there are Ferrari owners who don't have extravagant houses, but I feel that many Ferrari enthusiasts do sacrifice in other parts of their lives so that they can own such a car.

Very true. It's all about budgeting and prioritizing.
