How much did you make before you could justify a $35k-$40k car? I keep pondering over a BMW but feels irresponsible.

This varies significantly based on your passion with cars

I got 35k car when I was making 80K because I really wanted it

Agreed. I wanted a Wrangler and didn’t care. That said, I’m more frugal than most in other areas (e.g., not a huge fan of spending big bucks to eat out)

I bought a 63k Porsche 911 (used car, before taxes and stuff, original sticker ~110k) @ 114k TC and have never regretted it

Same situation, same timing, similar TC when I pulled the trigger. Still get a smile on my face when I drive it. No regrets at all.

Live below your means as much as possible. Invest your💰

Well I picked up a new F-150 for $58k back when I was making $92k 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hard when you like big cars. I got a jeep for 32k at 75k 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ wasn’t a status thing at all. I love them. Likely will keep it for a long ass time though

TIA!

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married.

I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.
