Strangely, when I first got my job 2 years ago, I was sorely tempted to buy my dream car. I actually test drove it with a super pushy saleman and was within an inch of buying the thing. Good thing I didn't, because I'm using all the cash I would have spent on that car to get this new company going. And living frugally, you can stretch out the value of a car a very long time. Plus, the car is a constant monetary drain, starting a company has the potential to make money eventually (although statistically I imagine most startups are a net drain on a person's net worth).
