Z28. When I started as a Security Guard at age 22 (fresh out of the Army) I was homeless living in a hotel with my mother for nearly 6 months. To cut a very long story short, I'll just say I grew up very poor. It took others to believe in me before I could believe in myself. Just a word of advise, family is not where you need to look. Family typically have the best of intensions but status quo becomes the norm and as sad as it sounds love can be restrictrive and selfish when risk is present. I had two people that nudged my direction (a girl) and a finacially established older stranger that allowed me to believe in myself. If you want more, look outside your inner circle. Don't fret, opportunities will make themselves available to you, just be ready to jump and take the risk.
BTW, the "girl" has been my wife of 17 years, the "stranger" is still my mentor 88 years young and my Mom is just about ready to move into her new place (completely mortgage free). I took the risk all those years ago figuring I could not fall much further. I now have a life that I still can't believe is mine.
As for the car....No I have not made up my mind, the LT4 is at the top of the list but at $25k it opens the doors to several nice 68-73 Camaros and Firebirds. I like gen2 better but gen1 seem to hold value better. That said, I was suprised to see how much some of the Gen2 were going for.
