Nee to the board folks ... hope everyone is well. So my wife and I are moving to Tier 2 city - and wondering how much should we spend a month on expenses including rent? We are 2 people plus a baby. For context, we will be on single income. Advice is appreciated.

Will be getting proceeds from a house sale shortly ($175K or so), and then will be completing purchase of new house around December.

Not even sure we can get that rate since we only park funds there for 4 months.

How do my fellow automotive fish feel about buying a used 911 4S convertible ? About 10 years old, maybe like 60k miles and up to 3 owners. Always wanted a nice car and honestly can’t afford a new 911 so thinking about this. Seeing some around 60-70k and plan to use for 5-7 years and hopefully then sell for about half (30-40 k). Is the idea feasible and anything I should be concerned about? Any tips (like model year / trim) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
