3x40 = $120k /year, nah you don't need to make that much, although it helps with mods.

Default I make... I mean earn a little over 4,000 a month and my house note is $900 (my only major bill) ...

I don't give a damn about financial models, I'm buying an S4. You see, I have this fever.... you'll know what I mean.

Default If you have $1k after this list then you can afford to get one...

$1k for payment, insurance and gas per month for S4

After these basics:
typical household bills (water, gas, electric)
mortgage/rent
401k
IRA and or mutual funds/stocks
monthly deposit in to savings account
girlfriend/wife stuff
dinner out 1 once a week
cellphone bill
internet access bill
cable or satellite TV bill

If after all that you still have $1k to blow on something get an S4 and have fun. If not settle for a VW GTi or whatever you can afford.

Default Boy, you're on the ball

401k, IRA and savings...

I'd feel like I'm gonna be a millionaire if I did 2 out of 3 each month, but I guess I offset that by eating out 4x-5x/week.

I don't have cable, not even an antenna. Just a TV/VCR/DVD. Watching TV SUCKS!

Default The key here is DOWN PAYMENT...

you can afford whatever you want if you have enough to put down on the purchase. Simple math says higher down pymt = lower amount financed. Get enough down, drive an S4 around!!! :-)<p>"I'm that Blue Menace in your rear view!!!"
