If you own a $100k+ car, how much is your HHI?

Nice judgmental answer.

Drive the beltway for 30 minutes. You will see a couple hundred cars in this price range.


get off your high horse.

It is obscene and selfish. Just because there are plenty of these cars in the area doesn't make it acceptable. I hope the owners donate a similar amount or more to a charity or for some good use.

Mind if I come to your house so I can gawk at all of the unnecessary things you've purchased? Or is it only selfish when someone else does it?

So what we should do is all acquire 'enough' stuff. For instance a 10 year old mid sized car (one car), a 1700SF house for a family of four, save for, say, 25% of a kids education and enough for us to scrape by in retirement.

Then we should all send the rest on to charity or another worthy cause? From each according to his ability, to each, according to his need, I guess.

While we are at it, can we stand in long lines for cheese and vodka?

If only you could see my car storage and all those shiny painted machines, your head might explode.

Was thinking the same. We have a 3 car garage and are in the process of building a detached 3 car garage plan to fill them both.

Wait is your house $900k or you MORTGAGE $900k? If its that high why the hell would you spend $150k on a car?

Awesome.

I'm relocating my things to CA and having a massive subterranean garage constructed for my growing collection. As far as I know we only live once.

IMO OP is not even close to considering a 150k car... 2 70k cars is kind of pushing it with a mortgage nearly twice the size of savings and another nearly 30% of the value of savings sunk into depreciating assets (the 2 70k cars).

I would do it just to piss off the person who thought it was gross and obscene.

Setting a dangerous precedent if you do buy it - imagine what his mid-life crisis car is going to cost?

[Anonymous]

I would not buy a car that cost that much even if I had five million dollars saved.

You are definitely in the right, op. That would be so foolish. One of you could easily become disabled or die or get sick.

It costs 150,000 to support an old person who needs round the clock care.

Until you both have that amount saved times twenty years for both of you, you should not be buying a car that expensive!

I think it is irresponsible to spend so much on a car. We both only started earning after I finished b school and DH finished residency (32 years old).

Would you let DH buy a $150k car?

you are 35 and make $700k a year? LOL what are you both working at Carlyle?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I would definitely buy it. Who cares what the haters think. They think your $70+ car is obscene.

I wouldn't hesitate for one second if I has that income. You are still young. Why wait until life creeps up on you. Seriously.
