roughtly 95-110k gross annual income... commission-based job, so I can't exactly say what my income will be. No overhead, and i'm turning 24, so the Z is easy to pay for. Thinking about trading it in after another year though.

 

What type of sales if you don't mind me asking?

 

good luck with that ologist thing...

 

I am amazed at how much most you guys make. I don't know ages. So it is hard to judge. But as someone before said. Good for you.

As far as I am concerned.

I am 25 I paid for my car cash. I make 3100 a month. You do the math.

Fingers crossed on getting better job soon. If anyone is looking for financial analyst let me know.

 

factor in fifty percen BS...

 

maybe more than 50%, I realized that I could believe nothing that was said on this site when, during the "Lor" thread, someone received a response from Lor (okay, the dude posing as Lor) and he modified the response from Lor..... complete fabrication. I believe little of what I read on news sites and even less that I read on an internet forum. Everyone that reads this would be wise to question what you read here.

 

Im almost 22 but have been busting my a$$ ever sice 17. I started a promotion company at 19 and that led to my current job with B&O.

 

I knew someone would pull out the BS Flag.

Think about it. Most people would not buy a $37K sports car if they were not somewhat financially secure. To do otherwise will significantly alter your future financial forecast. IMO if you make less that 2X a 350Z and finance your Z then you're at risk of being OVER-EXTENDED.

Factor in insurance, maintenance and your annual tire change (if your lucky) and the cost of ownership is at least $1800 ( $2600 in my case). Anyone that can't afford to relinquish those bones might want to consider re-orienting their priorities.

I make it a point to only pay interest on my house and one vehicle...nothing more. If there is anything needed or desired I save up for it first.

A good habit to help save money is removing the convenience and accessibility of ATMs. I was bad at pulling a $100 here and there on a whim. Next thing I knew I was chasing receipts trying to identify the vacum.

But there are those that live for the moment and throw caution to the wind. I know, I used to be one of them.

 

Interesting question...5x for me, but what are we trying to get at?

 

It's an attempt to deter high school kids from begging their parents into submission for a new Z.

 

ahhh...makes sense...better to let them simply beg to drive ours, right...like mine do now, but they're in college....but I still make 'em beg (grin).
