You should humble yourself and practice humility. It's pretty ignorant as well as arrogant to go around saying that.

i didnt mean to arrogant or put anyone down or anything like that. sorry if i did. but im just saying 60k a year and to buy a exotic has to be a joke. i know tons of people who try to live up to everyone else. buying really nice things when they can barely afford it.

As quickly as you have it, you can lose it all. Been there, done that. Count your blessings and don't look down on others as no one knows what their future holds.

You gotta look at it this way, you can get a used exotic for 100k. If he wants to live in a townhouse or apartment, making 60k and spending 100k on an exotic isn't that bad. BECAUSE, the depretication on a 100k exotic has already happened...

Depends on the weather
I just read through the rest of these posts....people will say what they make per year, but like my original long post states; What do you have in savings? What does your 401k look like? What assets do you own? Do you have DEBT? What's your debt to income ratio?

What is your plan if one day, you lose your job? How do you pay bills for the next x amount of months or the next year?, what's your emergency fund looking like?

You can make 300k individually,annually, but how much of that is going out towards debt?

Example: If you NET 15k a month, but you're putting out 12k a month for bills/debts...you don't need to buy an exotic, you need to focus on saving.

Jason - I somewhat agree with what you said but if someone lives in an apartment and drives an exotic, to me, priorities seem really mixed up. Unless you live in Manhattan and have a apt then I could understand that.

You're wasting money renting, when you could pay towards a mortgage and have it become an asset. Now, I don't mean everyone who is renting is wasting money, but I think people who spend the money to drive an exotic and live in an apt complex looks bad.

I see it all the time in DC. People have bentleys, etc and living in an apt.

.....but like I said....people will do what they want at the end of the day and entitled to do what they want with their money or spend money they don't have...lol. Everyone has their own priorities.
