How old were you when you decided you were going to buy a Porsche? How did you save up (traditional, hard work/saving--jackpot--lottery etc.) How long did it take and what advice can you give to someone trying to purchase one as far as the actual acquisition goes, besides the age-old "work hard and save as much as you can" I know that one, lol, and I know all about the maintenance and IMS & RMS, I'm talking more about how to go about actually getting one, I've been dreaming about getting one every single day for as long as I can remember, and I'm prepared to do it the old fashioned (savings) way, but did you do anything that helped you out or gave you a little boost that might help me?

I'm curious for finding out the previous questions as well, you can use this format if you'd like...

When did you decide you wanted one?
How long did it take to finally purchase it?
How old where you then, and now?
Is there anything you would have done differently?
Quick word of advice for a young person trying to save for one?

I'd appreciate your guys' time for filling this out if you get a chance, or you can simply give me some tips, either way I'd be greatful, I might get some good ideas.
