+1 on moderation and don't compare yourself to others. Find your balance, your goals, the best places to pay off debt you'd like, and go from there
One personal example:
I've been stock piling a bit of a safety net/liquid cash/maxing IRA with COVID happening. I'm 100% certain I have job security, but you never know. I've filled the void with a cheap Logitech sim setup to practice driving and gotten into biking quite a bit more. Once I reach my safety net goals I will focus back on the car, get it done, and get back out on track. I could currently finish my car, but then I wouldn't have the gross safety net I was looking for in the situation at hand
Edit: A few questions to ask yourself, is getting a cheap car enough to fill a void? Have you met your other goals or can keep them when buying the car? Could you find a balance with something else in the mean time? Do you not give a shit and just send it? Really up to you!
