I own/operate multiple businesses...natural born entreprenuer. Work all the time and have just enough time at the end of the day to drive my RS and its so worth it! Automotive, Sales, Restaurant, Inn, Winery just to name a few. Good luck. :)

there's no doubt most of us bust arse to be where we are (unless you're "independently wealthy" ie family money).
if i can quote an old boss of mine who said: "a job is doing something you don't necessarily like for money. a hobby is doing something you enjoy for free. a career is somewhere inbetween. make sure you find yourself a career..."
so point being, whatever you decide to do, you gotta enjoy and get some satisfaction from your career/source of income, because otherwise, you won't invest the time and energy needed to be sucessful enough to afford an RS4!!
did i just give words of wisdom???? god, i'm getting old....

Or you could just do what i do and be a contract killer! Good pay in that field plus you get to travel!
And best of all, you get to kill bad people!

well, i think the bigger test of character here is:
based on what i wrote above, is being a contract killer a "job" or a "career"  god forbid just a "hobby"

Business 101, communications, history and pshychology were my favorites! However, I never finished college b/c I figured I did not need it and had to many opportunities pass my way to refuse. I have the basics and fundamentals to get where I need to be. Plus, "its not what ya know...its who ya know"-especially in small business.

I'm not an RS owner (obviously not at 18), but I'd say that attitude is going to stop you from getting an $80,000 car more than how much you make at your job. You just have to learn to make certain sacrifices in order to get where you want to be.
And another thing, I would never choose a career because of how much money I'll make or what things I can buy. I hope that when you make a career choice, you look past that, and look for what you like to do, not what you would like to have. I make $24k a year right now but I love my work. I'm not going to college because I want to go to trade school and be a mechanic. Everyone tells me I'd make a great engineer, but the truth is, I'd hate to do that. I like fixing what is broken, not designing new things for people like me to fix. Sure, I'll never make enough money to lay down some cash (or probably even finance) an $80,000 car, but I love what I do. If your only motive in career options is buying an RS4, I pity you because you are going to have a horrible life.

I grew up poor as ****, my dad literally shovel'd **** (manewer) for $50 a week when I was a child and yes my family and I have always been good hearted people and always will be whether financially secure or not. "To whom much has been given, much is expected". With saying that, you also have to look out for scam artist and people that use you b/c of what you have. All I have to say to that is "you reap what you sew". *You don't have to be an A**hole to get or be financially secure drj FYI.*

you could go work in management at general motors. you'll make a ton of money AND they're trying to fix all sort of things over there...
money isn't everything. trust me, i know alot of miserable bored unfulfilled people who have everything.
