-- Posted by mrlupo8 at 10:40 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 In terms of shit you dont need since im basing my career off the things i want in life so here they are dining at nice restaruants occasionally chilling in the vip 2005 ferrari enzo (when i buy it in 8 years its only going to be like 50k) 95 supra. tricked out (like a 30k car) sea do 4 wheeler a nice 2 story house would 80k a year be enough to afford all that? -- Posted by MrJollyRancher at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 No.  The Enzo's never gonna be 50k -- Posted by neverjeeps at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 have fun with loans! -- Posted by acausedelle at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Forget about the enzo, and then you probably can afford it. -- Posted by the5e at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 don't think so -- Posted by ijustdontknow at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 No, not at all. -- Posted by Ryan Potter at 10:41 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Yeah, it probably would over the course of a few years. -- Posted by guitarparth at 10:42 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Meh, you'll need 100k a year. -- Posted by Alabamarama at 10:42 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 12:41 am on Aug. 26, 2008 Forget about the enzo, and then you probably can afford it. This. Buying two cars to blow a whole year's salary isn't a good idea. You'll probably have a lot of debt for a while, but you'll manage. -- Posted by FiercexMelon at 10:42 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 The only thing you can get with 80k is a wife and 2 kids. -- Posted by TheUnrealSlimShady at 10:42 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Considering that only 300 Enzos were made and (I assume) a few have already been destroyed, it'll never cost $50k. -- Posted by 25924225 at 10:43 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 dont think thats enoughhhhh -- Posted by k1Lka at 10:43 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 by the time you buy that enzo its gonna be a classic grandpa collectors car -- Posted by mrlupo8 at 10:43 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 of course its going to be over a few years. probably like 6-7 years. and yeah i can afford an enzo. i just have to wait paitently until one is impounded by the government and buy it at auction =) a 2year old lambo sold for 67k last month -- Posted by VIPMeezy at 10:43 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from FiercexMelon at 10:42 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 The only thing you can get with 80k is a wife and 2 kids. true that.. plus the house, probably 100-300k.. -- Posted by I heart nubs at 10:44 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 lol. That's a lot of loans. -- Posted by Malachite Morning at 10:45 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Saving up for 8 years and your only expenses being the essentials... it'll probably get you those minus the Ferrari. -- Posted by MrIndigo at 10:51 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Nothing. 80k will keep you on a paycheck to paycheck basis for a middle class lifestyle. $80k 50% of it will go to your federal taxes, state taxes, 401 retirement plans. That leave you with $40k. Then let's factor in car payments ($4000), various insurances ($2000). Then comes the housing part. If you're living alone and single, a single bedroom might suffice? Well, in a somewhat safe neighborhood, that's like $1000-$1500 a month including utilities and stuff. So that's $12k - $18k.  So let's average that out to be $15k. Then you need food. Let's see, $400 a month sounds good? (unless you want to eat hella unhealthy. That's another $4800 there. So let's add all those up: that's $25.8k there. Of course, to me, that sounds like a pretty ghetto lifestyle. If you want to buy a house, the numbers would be a lot worse. To even consider to buy anything you don't really need such as an Enzo, you should make at least $500k a year. Now I see why there's people who are fed up with their lives, the future looks so bleak for most people in this world. It's just work, pay bills, work, repeat cycle. -- Posted by I heart nubs at 10:52 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 LMAO. MRINDIGO is so right. -- Posted by NORDAC510 at 10:59 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 nice -- Posted by SAMMYJS99 at 11:23 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from mrlupo8 at 1:40 am on Aug. 26, 2008 In terms of shit you dont need since im basing my career off the things i want in life so here they are dining at nice restaruants occasionally chilling in the vip 2005 ferrari enzo (when i buy it in 8 years its only going to be like 50k) 95 supra. tricked out (like a 30k car) sea do 4 wheeler a nice 2 story house   would 80k a year be enough to afford all that? in terms of shit??? mrlupo8, for 1 thing that u should know of, I am a huge Ferrari fan. take note of this: not 1 ferrari that has been made since at least the 1980's is under a price tag under $1 million. good luck on paying those loans. -- Posted by MrIndigo at 12:20 am on Aug. 26, 2008 Let's break it down a bit:P   dining at nice restaruants occasionally (maybe...) chilling in the vip (lol! no way!) 2005 ferrari enzo (when i buy it in 8 years its only going to be like 50k) (Yeah right! sorry, but Enzo's price will only go up since only 300 were made) 95 supra. tricked out (like a 30k car) (hmm... with your budget it'll be pretty hard) sea do (huh? what's that? ) 4 wheeler (yeah... this is possible) a nice 2 story house (no way;) A nice house in a nice area would cost something well above $1.5M, there's no way you can afford that. ) For houses: With an $80k income, you'll be able to afford a $320k house max (you'll be very money income crunched during your stay there), that'll give you a crappy house in a crappy neighborhood:P Unfortunately, it's unlikely that many of of the people in our generation will be able to buy our own houses. Although housing prices have came down a little bit recently, they will remain to be unaffordable for most Americans. So your best chance of landing a good house is from inheritance, else there's a very little chance that you'll be able to get yourself a nice house. I'm sure that there's a lot of us who wants to be successful, however, success in this world takes more than just hard work alone. I, too, dream of having a nice house etc. But I keep a realistic mindset that such futures are highly unlikely. The fact is that the majority of us will live a boring life of an endless cycle of work and bill paying. Really makes you wonder if there's much meaning life. Well, i'm not encouraging suicide here:P don't get me wrong. Definitely give your best shot a life;) Don't do anything stupid until you're like 45-50(then, there's really not much potential left):P -- Posted by sakurag at 12:44 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 I don't know why you want to drive a fancy car, but whatever.  You're income does not afford it. You will pay at least $2500/mo on a home morgage.  And that's for an inexpensive home. Your cars will run you roughly $1200/mo. Now you are at 3700/mo.  Just on home and cars.  This is over half your income.  You will not have enough money to pay for any utilities or food.  I would drop the fancy car dream and focus on buying a home.   I have two cars and a home, and I can tell you, it's expensive.. I don't even have 1 fancy car.  My car was like $18K and the other commuter car was like 10K. Be smart, budget.
