No kids yet Mike, but the wife to be definitely wants some.  I think if I was paying GTA prices for homes I'd be renting no way we could afford a place that wasn't in a rough area.   
I was dumb as toast when I was 23 and bought the stupid thing. I've spent like $12,000 to make a $4500 dollar car into a $10,000 dollar car.   Should just spent the 15 at the time and bought a done/nice one.   I'd just like to have all the worn out shit replaced so I can drag race it and not be chasing a bunch of dumb worn out things that should have be replaced before it ever went near a track.

Plus as I get older my back hurts a little more so thoughts of wrenching over an engine stops with plugs, oil, a little cleaning up with maybe a car wash & that makes for a Good Day. I can't even imagine doing head gaskets with the motor still in the car anymore!

If you don't have kids yet, go ahead and get a second job now and start saving up. Also prepare for stuff like a $200 dress for prom, and iPhones , they all seem to need an iPhone. Buy it and it seems within a month or two the screen is shattered. So they need it fixed or a newer better iPhone. And don't get me started on shoes. Even boys require fancy Jordans and under armor, nothing under $100. It adds up fast and really cuts into the car fundage.

Something I learned when I was young. I built a 77 Nova from the ground up. I replaced all the body panels, built the engine...trans and diff. When I sold it off years later, I got about 10 cents on the dollar. When I bought my GN, I got smart. I found a turn key car...much cheaper and easier than starting out from scratch. The 2 Camaros I purchased were also turn key.

if I had a nickle for everytime I ignored an old guy in my youth only to learn the hardway they were right....
