which one is it?????? guessing that you were just commenting on someone else's post with the first one warrtalon. either way i am just giving you a hard time.
as for me.... 50k, divorced, live with g/f ( who makes more than me but i dont care ) a few credit cards but nothing bad. live in the sticks so cost of living is very low. very glad i got the car.
26, 2 kids, wife, 2 vehicles, mortgage, and I'm the only one that works. My wife is currently in nursing school though and will be done in like a year and a half.
I clicked 50k+ it's not "ALL" that much more then that, but I think with the bills I have it's prett cool that I'm the only one that works and I can still afford my evo plus some money for mods etc.

225K mortgage, 4 kids, 2 cars, and 2 nasty guinea pigs....combined income 110K+ and I'm still not saving enough every month to retire when I'm 45!!
Current retirement calculators put me at 49 years old. As you can see that's my focus and that's why I can't justify another sports car yet. There will be a viper or evo in my garage before the end of the year though!!

Another important reason that what you make together is that we're talking about affording the Evo after everything else is paid, and even if you're splitting living costs and paying for the Evo yourself, that's a lot different than paying for everything on your own PLUS paying for the Evo making a certain amount...
