Business Analyst - initially employed but went contractor 3 years ago. Best move I ever made. Recently moved into delivery management. Typically 12 - 18 month contracts and move on. I love it.
If I didn’t contract I wouldn’t be buying a supra for sure so feel massively grateful and try to always stay humble 👍🏻

I work for an atmospheric research company, we mostly build scientific instrumentation to measure the upper atmosphere (50 km and higher). So I do a lot of hardware, firmware, and software design for science payloads for satellites, and some power/control stuff as well.

Practially anyone can get a cor loan pretty easily these days. So the real question should be this: Who purchased a Supra and paid cash for it?
I did not, because easily could have. This comes up occasionally, so I always say this. Taking a low interest loan against assets (even depreciating ones) is preferable to your financial profile than spending cash on an (especially depreciating) asset. I always, always, always get nice long low interest loans for larger purchases, and keep the rest invested somewhere safeish. I have a good portfolio of art, land, and bunch in the markets. Even though they're down significantly now, they'll recover. Pulling money early results in fees/taxes/etc.

2% car loan or lose out on the 60k at 12% or whatever art/real estate/markets are doing.

or just pay cash, whatever.

My signature details what I do (for a top-level Toyota Dealer), and I've done most other jobs in the Automotive Sales, Service & Repair industry on my way here (where I figured I'd land).
