I decided when I was 14 (always have been into cars)
Saved up enough money right before I was 16
Bought it (1977 911) When I was 16 and I'm 21
Done differently? Porsches require a lot of maintenance and attention. Its horribly expensive to maintain one and people often skip out for the cheapest Porsche/model they can find which can often bite you in the a$$. Don't rush into buying one, save up money and in the mean time get something more manageable.

Keep saving, have your money work. Try to invest it well.
