lol damn, I need a raise.
Raises are great and all, though I only get to take home 51% of the last one I got.

Who makes up those rules? Seems rather arbitrary.

I got my first car at 14, a '73 Toyota Corolla with the agreement that "if you can get it home you can have it." I am now 44 and have never paid a single penny for any car I have ever owned. I have never had a car payment. I work on my own cars so I have spent quite a bit over the years on my "free" cars.
Keep in mind my daily driver is a '71 Chevelle with a mere 600,000 miles on it...
Investment as income now rather than as savings for the future?
If so then yeah. I think I'd need pretty large investments to give me any significant income.
What if my cars are paid for? Do I go get a new car so I can participate in this thread? :awe:
4% per month for my Outback, if I add my wifes salary it drops to 1.9%.
So, 1.9% a month, times twelve months, times 5 years (average loan) = car worth more than your combined annual income?D:
I think you are forgetting something.
1.9% of monthly income equals more than annual income over five years..how, exactly?

The source quote was vague, that's what I was playing around with. Could have been 1.9% of annual salary, 1.9% of monthly salary, or 1.9% of each paycheck...
He said "per month."
The goal I set for myself is to save around $60k in cash a year on top of 401k and other investments. Whatever is comfortably left after expenses are budgeted can go towards a car. Right now, that's an allowance of up to $950/month for a weekend/fun car. Daily driver is paid off so it's not a necessity if something catastrophic happened.
Monthly cost, not monthly income....bah, never mind, clearly my attempt at humor fell flat.:'(
