Dont buy it, move in with mom and dad and get a real car. FERRARI

Honestly having 11k in the bank isn't a number to decide if you can or can't, but it is a number that shows you can be disciplined and save your money. It is a sign of responsibility. I would bet most 19yr olds do not have 1k in the bank.

So my advice is to just enjoy your life. What is the worst that could happen? Having a million dollars and a nice car when you are 80 yrs old seems like a lot of fun right? Why not hate life now so you can think about your money when your body is deteriorated and dementia sets in? That is when life gets REALLY good. Just be balanced, be responsible, and reward yourself for your hard work. All the guys I know in the military make good money too, so why is everyone saying you are probably broke? Plus the service will help pay for college if not all of it.
