Need some help for the future

My advice would be having to start low and work your way up. I'm 25. Graduated from college 2 years ago and have settled as an Officer in the Army. I started out landscaping in high school where I bought my first car, 95 Eclipse GST for 5,000$. Then I sold that, had some money and bought an RSX-S for 17,000$. Now, I'm a little older and I'm deployed. I'm saving a lot and making good tax free money over here I'm going to treat myself to 35-40k dollar Z. Although this will probably be the first car I'm going to have to take a loan out, i'll be putting down 25,000$ and making payments to own it. On top of payments you have to keep in mind rent (if you're living on your own), food, going out $, gf (if you have one), phone bills and other loans. I'm not quite sure if i made 1700$ a month I could afford a Z, but I'm making roughly 4,000$ a month back in the states so I shouldn't have a problem buying a Z and making payments. Back to your situation. My advice would be to buy something not so expensive then wait a few years to make a Z purchase. I'd rather wait for something I really want then to spend all my money and never be able to enjoy it because I have no money. Just my 2 cents as well!
