I guess different priorities in life? Who knows, maybe if I made another $20k/yr and had different parents I'd be the same way I will tell you that there's no way in hell my parents would allow me at 23 to move back into their home. They'd tell me to go get a job, even if it was at McDonalds, and take care of myself.

I want an E93 at the moment but am saving to buy a home. I have the money to go finance the new BMW but instead am living in a nice home with a paid off E30, paid off motorcycle, and out of debt. I'm trying to accumulate long-term wealth instead of short-term.

I have respect for younger guys who can afford these nice E9X's but take care of the important things in life first. A big sign of irresponsibility on the parents and child's part to the folks this story is in reference to.

/rant; sorry to any who may come across offended
