Would you delay retirement for 6 months to purchase dream car?

For those of you who don’t want to retire because you are going to be bored, think very hard and try to figure out how you are going to make that change in the future. Getting older won’t make your life less boring unless you take action and fix it yourself.

I retired at the beginning of the year. Have not had enough free time yet to be bored. Too much to do. It’s more of the things I want to do. Maybe it is neglected things and I will catch up and then get bored.

Could have bought my dream car, a 911 Turbo (991.2 or 992), for what I have spent traveling. The memories and experiences are priceless. I have no regrets and will eventually also get that dream car or maybe it will be some EV.

If you love your job and it's lucrative it can be tough to leave. I'd probably work for 6 more months if I felt like I could have my dream and not impact my retirement finances. On the flip side I think we all have to start the wind down process at some point. Just make sure the car doesn't get in the way.

But 100%. Work the extra 6mo if you're healthy, active, and mobile.
