If you made $100K a year...

[LJ]

Nothing.

 

I'm waiting till I have much more in personal savings before I buy anything else. Probably get a nice fun car next winter, probably a C5 Z06

[Mensan]

Gonna have to agree here, Boxster = Chick Car.

Cayman S = Entry level man car.

 

 

Truth be told, the Boxster S is more fun to drive than a 911. Shock horror! The baby Boxster is a better whip than big brother Carrera? C'mon, it's a no-brainer.

[87GT]

Bentley Continental GT daily driver. Fuck gas prices.

Funny you bring that up. I've read that on a couple occasions, and even found myself browsing auto-trader for them. One of these days I will go drive one and prove to myself its not a chick car, or a "girly porsche" as one fellow put it.

 

It is amazing how cheap they have become....

 

[Linc5.0]

94 mazda rx7,02 Acura MDX,two F-250's,one f-150, oh wait I already have these...how bout a new price tear....200k?

[sol740]

I'd buy a house, my wife an SUV(mommy-mobile), myself an EVO, and punt the rest towards investments/college funds.

 

Can I ask for more $?

[Dammit Charlie]

I'd be rocking two cars. LSx FD RX-7, and a well setup 03/04 cobra. The wife would have her 71 vette that she's always wanted.

[zeitgeist57]

Wouldn't change a whole lot, 100k/yr isn't "rich".

 

+1.

 

I'd have a Corvette, maybe invest in some real estate, maximize my 401(k) contributions, set up a 529 plan for my kids, Roth IRA for my wife...

I'll let you drive mine.

[Lustalbert]

Id buy the wifey a nice red 05 CTS-V.

Wait......

[Mr. Jones]

I'll let you drive mine.

 

Might take you up on that this spring.

[Diamonds]

i agree with the whole "100k really aint much" statement.... unless you are young and single, then it's alot of money...

 

100k with a family and a decent house is chump change.

 

Verse, you said you'd drive an ISF... to own that car comfortably you'd need to be single and not ahve alot of expenses...

[iwishiwascool]

I drive an Evo.

Payments would be around $1300 a month and would leave me $7000 left over a month. I'd be fine with that. If you're looking at it like the gov't is taking 30% it'd still leave me $4500 a month left over.

Single you would get about 60k/year after ALL your taxes.

 

so $5k/month net

Such bullshit.

[Dr. Pomade]

Yup, taxes are rough - government takes about 40% of my paycheck right from the get-go.

I'm married, own a house, and have a kid.

Makes baby jesus cry for sure

[RedRocket1647545505]

If they could figure out how to spend it wisely, I wouldn't have such a problem with it.

 

And marriage isn't worth the tax break, IMO.

[iwishiwascool]

Federal tax on 100k is $21,717 before deductions. State and local are obviously significantly less. Tack on a few exemptions and you can get your net pay per check a bit higher at the sacrifice of a heaftier return.

 

When you look at the tax brackets, you are paying that percentage between the range of income... ie. on your first $8025 you pay 10%, $8026-$33950 you pay 15%... etc. One doesnt pay a full 28% as soon as he makes $78,852.

I hope you get at least 10% of it back come tax return time...

 

If not we need to get you a better CPA.

Someone who knows taxes. Finally.

I only know enough to get by.

I probably wouldn't change much...
