Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I am 20M, and I live with my parents. I commute to community college, Monday-Thursday, and I will be graduating after this semester. I have wanted a motorcycle since I was a kid, when my mom had one. I always thought it was super cool, and I wanted to get one when I was older

Starting my freshman year of high school, I started working summers, and saving up money. By the time senior year ended, and I was ready to go to college, I had about $11.000 saved up, between working and birthday/christmas money. (I rarely spend money) Going into college, I knew I had enough money to buy all my courses, and books for the 2 years I was attending college. (This college is one of the cheapest in NE) My parents had to worry about nothing.

My car was paid for by my family, and they pay for my insurance, but other than that, all expenses are me. I pay for gas, fixes and oil changes, and anything else. Now I am on my last semester of college, and after the 4 semesters, I have about $8,500 saved up. I have a tax return coming in of about $2,000, and leftover christmas/birthday money of about $500. This puts me at a total of about $11,000. I plan on going to work right after school, and I want to get a motorcycle because, 1) I have the money, and 2) I have always wanted one.

My buddy has a motorcycle, and is willing to sell it to me for about $3,300. After this purchase, my savings would be at about $7,700. My mother’s arguement, is that I should establish myself, before I spend money on a luxury item. My arguement is, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything. I would pay for it, pay for insurance, and pay for any maintenence. My mom says that I still live under her roof, and I would be keeping it in her garage. She even threatened to kick me out. (I couldn’t tell if she was joking or not...)

AITA for wanting to buy a motorcycle, with my saved up money that I earned, and not having my parents worry about anything changing expense wise. Or is my mom right and I should get more ahead in life, before I buy something like this?

Thanks for any responses. First time posting here, and I’m also on mobile.
