[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People spend a lot on vehicles. 10-15% of income after taxes is recommended by a lot of financial advice websites. So if you make $300K around here (prob below average for mid 30s professional in lobbying, law, tech, etc) your car payments could be up to $2625 a month. I personally think that’s INSANE but I’ve come to realize a lot of people in the DC area spend as much as they can afford (eg they’ll go for the max 28% DTI mortgage ratio, max car payment, etc). [/quote] $2600 a MONTH on cars??! The auto lobby is insane. We make $500k and drive a Toyota and a Subaru. [/quote] Not everyone wants to drive around in crappy cars. I'm in the car for 3 hours a day. I want it to be luxurious and if anything happens, I want to push a button and have them come and help with whatever I need. If I bring it to the shop for an oil change, I want a loaner. [/quote]
