A M3 is a suitable purchase for someone who makes 200K before tax and still has responsibilities, even if single.

Sorry if I didn't go into detail enough, but some of the stuff was mentioned previously. Hopefully this will make my statement make more sense:
Some things mentioned are really dependent on the person.
Tuition: I didn't mention it cause he said he had it paid off. (for me, I had a full scholarship ride so I never had to worry about tuition)
Rent: Already mentioned previously that he can cover it
Food/dating/traveling/nice clothes: all part of enjoying life.
investing: already mentioned
When I said no responsibilities, I meant no responsibilties to
anyone else. Meaning, you live for yourself, make money for yourself, and do what you do to enjoy
yourself. With no need to pay for a wife, kids, parents (since, when you're in your 20s, your parents are generally young enough to not be retired yet). Yes, having a girlfriend has it's expenses, but in this day and age, especially with "feminism" getting a strong hold, that's becoming a cheaper and cheaper expense; regardless, paying for a gf/dating is part of "enjoying life"

Unfortunately, most M3 drivers are now, what some like to call: "Hard parkers"
People who throw money at the car, yet only stare at it...
Brembos, JRZs, Aeros, TE37SLs with R-comps etc etc... and they never see a race track :/, all they see is the occasional exposure at meets
