What is the general percentage of income

Suze Orman

 

You need the "Philopers Legacy" to afford a lamborghini.

 

General rule my friend once told me (he was a Ferrari guy): "When you can afford to by an Enzo, get a F430. When you can afford 4 Enzos buy one." Seems to have worked out for him. I can't speak for others though.

 

My rule...cars, casinos, girls...everything...

"Walk in with what you can afford to lose and still walk out with a smile and enjoyed it!!"

Oh Oh....I am such a big fan! I've been watching her show on CNBC for years. I never watch financial shows but with hers, I learn something new everyday. Also, her show has always had a big influence on me in keeping me grounded. I've always lived by the phrase...."just because you can....doesn't mean you should"


BTW,

I also live by....."you only live once" ......which leads to the phrase....."when the doors go up....the panties go down"

LOL!!!

I needed that!!!!

 

lol, sounds like life around here, been taken by all three (cars, casino's, girls...) at one point or another .....still smilin'

p.s..Mr. Fucarwe...just acquire the car and don't think about it, then think about and work on how you can afford to keep it!

 

It's not really how much money you make, but rather, how sick you are in your head! No one needs a $100K car, and surely no one needs a Lambo! But, if you are sick enough in your mind that you need one, you will make it happen even if you make less than $100K a year! I have one, so I know.

 

I worked six to seven days a week for 20+ years. In other words work was my life.

My blood pressure was 180 over 120.

One day my cousin looked at me and and said D. you need to start learning to relax, because I bury guys your age.
(He runs a funeral home).

I took his advice to heart , saw a physician, forced myself to take at least one day off per week and ultimately wound up with my Countach.

It is one of the best investments that I have ever made.

I have met a great group of friends as a result of ownership and have even had a (minor) hand in the conversion of a few of these fine people to the dark side.

I now look forward to our Sunday cruises. I am able to meet up with people who have similar philosophies, in terms of working hard, and together we are learning to enjoy life a little bit more.

My advice to you is that when you are READY (and for everbody this may mean something different) you will know it.

Good luck.

 

good rule!!.....try this one also:

If it flies, floats or [email protected]e it!!

 

This thread deserves the honour of being deleted!

 

You don't need any income. You just need 9 credit cards.

 

it's not what you make, it's what your worth.

 

Wow, your e-penis is HUGE!

 

you dont need to make a lot of money. Hell making 60k a year can do it. Just finance the car with 0 down. Sell it after 3 months, make no payments and then make an offer to the credit people to pay it off in full to remove it form your credit report.

Thats the real way right?

Condescending know-it-all.

She's so rude; and I bet that the poor people that call in for advice end up in therapy.

 

I would say you can afford any Ferrari that you can pay for in one bonus check, after taxes.

 

There are plenty of people that own them that don't get bonus checks.

The truth is, there is no magic formula. It depends on many things - how much debt you have, what your comfort level is, if you are married/single/have kids, where you live (cost of living), etc etc etc. If the numbers make sense and you fell comfortable spending that much on a toy, go for it. There are a lot of threads here about this topic.
