So, this is a very simple question, we all had ambitions growing up.
I'm a car guy, and I've wanted to own some pretty cool cars I've had pinned up on my wall.
Myself, I came from a lower middle class family, put myself through college, worked for some good companies, then went out in my own business which is succesful.
For me, the moment I made it went when I bought my 2012 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible, I had bought classic cars and a few fun cars before hand, but this was my biggest purchase outside my property and home I had ever had.
There is a dealership near where I live that ONLY does high end cars regardless of brand, Vipers...Ferrari's....Corvettes...Lambos...Astons...Jags..TVRs ( used )....bunch of other crazy cars.... When I walked up to the dealership front door, it had all of the above logos on it ,and I thought " I'm from a poor family...I don't belong here ", as I eyed all the awesome cars in the lot, knowing I would be buying one of them.
Paid in cash for my 2012 Corvette, and as they were giving it the final detail and wash, I thought to myself
" I finally made something out of myself, no one in my family has ever bought something like this ", btw, I've given my family a TON of money before I bought a toy. A Ferrari 355 is next.
So for you, when did you think " I made something good of myself?"
As a car guy, the purchase of that car was it. When all my hard work, and good deeds I feel have paid off, and I love my car collection.
Also, this was not random, I donate tons to charity, local schools, scouts, soup kitchens, and the community parks, I decided at that point. It was time to buy something for me
