LJ Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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.

The baby Boxster is a better whip than big brother Carrera? C'mon, it's a no-brainer. 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....

sol740 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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 $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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...

Diamonds Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 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.
