Why I regret buying my dream car at 20

Uh-oh. Nice. Key not found within the vehicle. Suspension control unavailable. Okay, that didn't sound good. Come up to the light. So my name is Jay. I'm 20 years old and I drive a McLaren 720S as a daily, and I've been doing that for the past 7 months. The way I got this vehicle was through real estate wholesale, and I've been doing real estate wholesaling for the past almost 7 years. It's going to be in 9 days that I'm going to be 21 years old, and I I'm making this video to give you guys my honest perspective, my honest review, not specifically on the car, but the reason why I got the car, what it is like living with the car, and just my personal kind of reflection on getting this car, the reasons why, how it's benefited me, how it hasn't benefited me, and just to kind of give you some insight of what it looks like from the inside of the car, right? Not— you get what I mean. Not theoretically, but what it looks like to be in my shoes as a 20-year-old driving a fucking supercar, um, seemingly so easily, right? So let's start from the beginning, right? I've had multiple nice cars. I've had trucks. I have had multiple BMWs. I love speed, right? I love fast cars. I don't know what it is about it. I like going fast, not necessarily the cars. I'm not too much of a car guy. I can't tell you, oh, this cylinder and the bi-turbos, and then you upgrade the turbos and you do this. Like, I know what I know when I have the car, right? Before that, I'm not the type of guy to go to car shows and just walk around for 3 hours like, oh, look at the Lambo. I wonder what that guy does for a living. I'm not that type of guy, you know what I mean? Like, I'm not a car nerd, a car geek, a car aficionado like a lot of you guys are, which is nothing wrong with that. It's just that's not my personality. I only like looking at things that I'm either in the future going to purchase or that I already have on my vision board of, hey, I'm going to get this car, hey, I'm going to get this house, hey, I'm going to get this watch or these clothes, or I'm going to get this for my family. Like, Once I know that I'm going to achieve it, once I know that, hey, I'm working towards it, that's when I kind of start obsessing over things. But with this car and just cars in general, it's never been like, oh my God, I'm working so hard to get this car. It was never that. It was just— and that's what I want to get into, because a lot of people will think, oh, you have the supercar, your life is complete. And honestly, it didn't fill a void. If anything, it created a void in my life where it's like, okay, I have this crazy car that fires at all cylinders that 99.99999% of people will never have, but I don't feel complete, right? I don't feel achieved. I don't feel like in a way I deserve it because I haven't gone through enough pain. And that's one thing that I've learned along this journey of these past almost 7 years of getting these crazy things right, getting the watch, getting my first BMW, getting my first high-rise and upgrading to a nicer one and moving to different cities and all these things. That without pain, without some sort of misery as a man, no matter how much money you make and how easily you make it, you will have a void in your life buying these things if you don't feel like you deserve it. Which in the beginning, and just in general as a human being, I feel like I'm deserving of everything. And I feel like that's part of the reason why I'm so successful, because I have that ego in a way. I have that perception of life. I have that in a way, aura that I walk around with, like I deserve the world and I'm going to have it if I choose to work towards it. And that's what a lot of people are missing. But in my case, it got to a point where it's like, okay, I got this crazy car, I can easily afford the payments, but it's not really a reflection of who I want to be just yet. And I said that the wrong way. It's not a reflection of who I am in the present time, but who I need to become. Right. So it added that void of, fuck, bro, we have to fire on all cylinders. This is a twin turbo V8 making 720 horsepower to the wheel. I'm probably wrong about that, but take it with a grain of salt. But I'm not, you know, you know what I mean? Like I tell you guys in multiple of these other videos of you have to fire at all cylinders. You have to have congruency and alignment with everything that you do in life if you want to reach your goals faster. And I got the 720S without perfect alignment. I'm not saying I'm perfect. I'm not saying I never diverge off the median of, of consistency. But having this car told me, you are not a twin-turbo V8. My body right now is not a twin-turbo V8. My mindset sometimes is not a twin-turbo V8, you know. And, and that let me know, hey, we have levels to go up to. Granted, From the outside, everybody's seeing me and it's like, oh my God, how old is this guy? What does he do for a living? I wonder how much work he did. Which, yes, I did a lot of fucking work, but I didn't go through enough misery in a way where boom, I got the car, and boom, it changed my life. You know what I mean? It just added another void in my life where you might see it from the outside and say my life is complete, but I would say honestly the opposite. As I grow older, as I become more successful, because I haven't had a year since I was, what, 17 years old that I haven't made more money every single year, that I haven't upgraded my life every single year, that I haven't provided more for my parents every single year, that I haven't grown mentally, physically every single year, right? But this just added another pressure on my shoulders of, you have to level the fuck up if you want to keep playing on this, on this playing field, right? Because a lot of these people that you see on the internet are for the moment, right? I don't know how long you've been on the internet. I've only been posting content for about a year. And then what— talking to multiple other people and just seeing the perspectives of people as consumers consuming this content and looking up to these people, it's like you'll see these people come in 6 months, a year, a year and a half, 2 years, 3 years, and it's like boom, they're gone. Boom, they disappear off the face of the earth. They're not posting anymore. Granted, some of them maybe want a private life now. They got what they wanted out of social media. But a lot of them they went fucking broke, right? And I have never planned on going broke. I never have the— what would I call it? I've never had the— how would I say it? The pain of going broke because I know because of all the skill sets, because of all the things that I've gone through, I will never be broke, right? But I want to live this lifestyle for the rest of my life versus the next couple years or the next couple months like a lot of these people on the internet that you see. And that's why people can't get on a camera and just speak freely, because they have to coordinate all their thoughts. They have to script all these videos because they're living a lie. You know, I don't have to because this is my reality. Granted, it's not the perfect reality. It's not the, oh, I'm a pro, I'm better than all of you guys in every single sense of the definition. I'm not, right? But I've clearly done something the right way enough to get to this point, and I want to keep doing that at a higher level because I want to live this life for the next 50 fucking years, 60 years, 70 years. And I want to pass on this life to my next generation. I want my little brother when he's 18 years old to already be a millionaire, right? I want him to be 18 years old and already have the ability of driving a car like this, of already having the ability of living a high-rise like this. Now, will I tell him to go do that? I would probably advise him otherwise, to promote his longevity, right? To build a better foundation than I did. Granted, I have a great foundation. You know, I don't have an issue of the next couple of years of going broke. I've set myself up in a certain way where I can't. But am I set up for the next 10 years, 15 years, 20 years? I'm not. So when I say this added a pressure on my shoulders to become a better human being, to become a better entrepreneur, to become a better man in general and add a boost to my self-improvement, it did, right? Granted, some might look at it in a way of like, bro, that's so good. I don't know what you're complaining about. I'm not complaining. But I'm just letting you guys know that this is my review. This is my experience of getting a car like this at this level. And this is the craziest level. I could only imagine how somebody else feels when they get a P1, when they get a Senna, right? When they get a fucking multi, multi-million dollar car like a Bugatti or a Pagani. These people are paying $60,000 a month as a car payment, right? They're putting down $2.5 million. I'm not at that level yet, but I want to be at that level to have the capability of doing that. And have that pressure on my shoulders to become a better entrepreneur. Before I purchased this car, one of the pros, which some people might see as a pros and cons on either or, is I was talking with my buddies, right? Obviously we gathered on this topic of purchasing this car for about a month, right? We wanted to make sure it was the right decision. One of them was, you will become a better entrepreneur if you purchase this car, right? And not necessarily because of the car payment, not necessarily because of all the expenses of all the repairs, but you have now boosted your lifestyle to this level and you have an appearance to keep up with. And I don't really give a fuck about appearances, if I'm being honest. But when I look in the mirror, this is who I'm going to become. And I have just fast-tracked that because a lot of people will get this car at the age of 40 years old, at the age of 50 years old, when they feel comfortable, right? And I'm not saying, oh, a $4,500 car payment is nothing. Right? I can just blow that away. It doesn't hurt, but it's still fucking $4,500, right? Plus another $1,000 on insurance, plus another $600, $700 on gas, right? Plus all the fucking repairs that come with this piece of shit-ass car. But it's an added pressure. It's like, all right, now you have another expense. All right, now this is your reality. So kind of my takeaways are— I had, I had some notes on kind of what I wanted to hit. Um, every market. But yeah, I mean, I mean, another thing is that I learned actually with my first BMW that I purchased, I was like, all right, I'm gonna get this car and it's gonna change my life. Everybody's gonna look at me different. Everybody's gonna want to walk up to me. I'm gonna get more girls. I'm gonna, I'm gonna be super, super confident and it's gonna fix my, my lack of motivation. This did nothing. And over time, as I've gotten car after car after place after place after watch after watch after giving my parents stuff and taking care of my little brother, none of those things will fix internal issues, right? You getting a more expensive car will not fix your lack of discipline. You getting a nicer car is not going to fix your inability to talk to women. You getting a more expensive car is not going to fix the lack of skills that you have as an entrepreneur in your business. It will not do any of that. It will not fill any void except your ego. And ego is fluctuant. It goes up and it goes down depending on the situation, depending on how you built your foundation as a human being and the person that you are at the current time. A lot of times I will tell you guys that you have multiple breaking points. Me getting this car was a breaking point because I was tired of the car that I was driving. I said, okay, I've, I've had BMWs, I know what this is like, I'm okay with the car, and it doesn't do anything for me. I need a more expensive car., right? I need to step up to another level. Can you guys see that I'm sweating? This car is hot as shit, but that just motivates me to finish the video in one take. Like I was saying, it will not fill any void. I see a lot of people even DM me, they're like, yo bro, I'm thinking about getting a McLaren. Yo bro, I'm thinking about getting my first nice car. I'm thinking about getting a Supra, BMW, whatever, whatever. Uh, I feel like it's gonna make me work harder. It is not, right? Some people just naturally fold under pressure, and some people thrive under pressure. I'm the type of person that thrives under pressure because I've put myself in the fire so many times and I came out of it every single fucking time without a question. Because that is the mentality that I grew up with, and that is what I've been fortifying for the last couple years as an entrepreneur, that I have to make it work no matter what, and nobody's coming to fucking save me. Nobody's coming to bail me out. But a lot of other people, they'll get the car and they'll let that be the downfall of them. Right? They'll get the car, they'll be able to afford the payments for 4 or 5 months, and then boom, they can't, they can't work harder, right? It doesn't add that value to their life. It doesn't add that level of pain. It doesn't add that level of motivation in their internal self to actually do more work, to become more leveraged in their business and their entire life. In my case, I use it for that, right? So one of the main points that I want to tell you is, hey, the car is not going to change your life in a way where it's going to make magically make you a better entrepreneur, it's going to magically make you a better person. For a lot of people, when they get a car like this, they turn into a fucking dickhead because they think they're on top of the world. I've had multiple instances where I could have crashed this car and I would have had no McLaren, right, at least for a couple months or until I got a different car. And way before that, right, I can't say that I learned that from getting this car, but from my first nice car, I was like, bro, the car, nobody gives a fuck. Nobody cares about the car you drive. No girl— nobody does, bro. My parents were mad at me for buying the car. They're like, why the fuck would you buy that? That doesn't make any sense. It's, it's a— it's too low. My mom was hating. My mom was like, that car's too low, you're going to scrape and you're going to crash it. It's like, bro, why are you hating? You know what I mean? But like, nobody gives a fuck about it. And the validation that you get is cheap validation. Like, when people tell me, yo, I love the McLaren, bro. Yo, I love the car. That's not them validating me in a way. I see it, which might be a negative way or might be too of a realist way, but I see it as like, okay, I just paid for an expensive car and that's why you're complimenting me, right? You don't know what it actually took to get here. You don't know how many nights I felt like fucking quitting. You don't know how many nights I didn't fucking sleep or I didn't eat to get to the point where I can afford a car like this. You don't know any of the backstory. You don't know any of the hard work. You don't know any of the moments for me to get this car. All you know is, hey, you have a nice car. Nice car, right? They're complimenting the car. They're not complimenting me. So when I hear from you guys where it's like, bro, I'm actually proud of you, I know your story, then it's different, right? Because they know what I came from. But like I said, it's not— it's not going to change your life. Now, what other point did I want to hit? Yeah, I mean, I damn near hit every point. The main takeaway that I want you to have is if you're planning on buying a car like this, planning on upgrading your, upgrading your lifestyle, planning on getting a crazy watch, it's not going to fix any internal issue. You're not going to become more motivated. And if you fold under pressure, if you know you're that type of person, play it safe. Play the long-term game. Either way, play the long-term game because there will be a lot of people in this journey that you have and that you will see with your own eyes of people that will come down, people that will come up. And people that will always be fluctuating and never be on a consistent trajectory up. Don't be that person playing for people's attention. Don't be that person chasing this validation from other people because other people don't pay your fucking bills. Other people don't know the struggles that you've gone through. Other people will not come fucking save you. It is completely up to you to save yourself and put yourself in a position where you can put your family in a position to be in a better place. The reason I did all of this, all this entrepreneurship journey, was because I couldn't ask my parents for expensive things and I couldn't give them the lifestyle that I wanted to live, right? They came to this country as immigrants. I wanted to give them the American dream of a person being born in America, and I made it happen. I want that to be the takeaway.
