But my sister is now just graduating and my parents keep pushing her to get a job! get a job! deterring her from the more feasible option of a paid internship which is sort of the best many can do right now.

Jive is spot on. Even first year analysts where I work who make well over six figures in their first year out of undergrad do not purchase M3's because they are fiscally conservative. A car should never be more than a 1/3rd of your annual comp, better yet, less than a 1/4 or a 1/6.

Bottom line is, everyone's situation is different. I know multi-millionaires who drive Toyota Camrys, and other poor saps that are leveraged to the hilt, but still drive a car they really cant afford.
What I dont understand is someone who makes 70k a year and lives with their parents, and drives 60-70k car. That makes no sense to me. You are right, Jive.... Last edited by TheRealOrosie; 03-25-2011 at 08:55 AM.. |

I am buying my home, have other paid off vehicles, have all the 401k investment crap, virtually no revolving debt, and I afford my car very well even though I am ONLY making ~95k-100k a year. I also afforded my 335i quite well back when I was only making 60k a year. I think it just depends on what you choose to spend your money on. I have people ask me all the time how I do it and I tell then that I dont smoke, and I dont even really drink much either. Not doing those two things can save you allot of money in the long run.

I agree with you, the 1/4 or 1/6 thing may ONLY apply if you are buying the car fully cash at one shot. Not many people goes in with certified cheque of $70k.

Just turned 25 two weeks ago. Got my m3 when I was 22, prior to that I had a 335i that I purchased when I was 20..
Make 10k+ a month, self employed in the mortgage business, no degree. Just sales skills. Obviously this isn't anything to brag about and nor am I trying too. But I just want to add that I've been working since I was 15. Started at taco bell making $6.75 then go into sales... Fcked up a lot and lost a alot along the way... It sure wasn't easy...there were times I couldn't even put gas in my car.. Now I've learned to save money for rainy days...

On my 3rd M3, although the first two were identical cars. (I am an Anesthesiologist and interventional pain specialist). |
