[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you supposedly can't afford 40k on your income, I am wondering who drives all those expensive cars?

This thread, like so many others (making 500k while living paycheck to paycheck and wearing hand me downs) is just so much BS. People are like counting every penny while getting ready to spend 5 million dollars in tuition for some worthless degree 15 years down the road.

We make 150k and will be buying BMW X5 when our old car dies. We can buy it for cash several times over but we would never do it, certainly not with these interest rates. Our old car is 10 yo audi A4, which cost maybe 35k when we bought it. At the time we made like 90k or something, though we lived in a much cheaper area. We have no debt. I find this whole forum crazy.[/quote]

What's your net worth? Do you have family money to bail you out if you lose your job? How old are you?  WTH would I want to spend $40K on a car? I drive only 7,500 miles a year and I'm not out to impress anyone.[/quote]

Luxury cars are dime and dozen and I doubt impress many people. That said, if they do, all the better.

I don't have a family to bail me out bug I do have a plan B should things here take a bad turn. But even if I didn't, I wouldn't live my life under the premise of the worst possible scenario. That is as irrational as pissing money away. Everyone u know in rl, including our financial advisor considers us savers. Only here it I am supposed feel like a reckless spender. People here have simply no sense of proportion. Americans in general lack cultural models of moderation in all areas.[/quote]
