Who cares about how much one makes? Just get the BMW and people will think you are rich anyways. If you ever can't afford to pay for the BMW, get one of these and a roomie. The nice thing is that the bottom acts as a sofa so you can tell the girls you take home that you just like the functionality of it all. |

Suze Orman says... First you need an emergency fund (cash) equal to 8 months of living expenses. Then, after paying all your bills and saving for retirement, if you have enough money to finance over 3 years then you can afford it. Otherwise, you can't.
Most people can't actually afford a BMW even though they find a way to make the payments. |

So many factors as everyone else has noted. I make under 120k a year(bay area) save plenty of money, 401k, help with mom financially and can easily manage a $6-700 car payment. It all depends on your priorities and at the end your gonna do what you want regardless of what we all say. Good luck!

This thread is useful if not just to highlight the differences between taxes, mortgages, tax and just about anything to do with money between the US and your friends overseas.
I'm in the UK and it's a fascinating read. I will however echo other peoples comments and they apply to the UK - your own individual circumstances dictate what you can and can't afford regardless of salary. That applies universally. Last edited by weyland; 04-21-2016 at 02:48 AM.. |
