how can you afford a supra?

This recession hit my income as a bloody freight train so I sat down and did a budget and came to the conslusion you need an income of at least £3,200 per month after taxes to maintain a decent life and own a supra. As I am aware this is significantly above the average earner so how do you guys afford your supras?

 

You live with mom and pop? You dont travel anything? No parties? Got a wife working as well?

I have people working for me and I cut their salary to maximise mine...

 

Just kidding on the latter - I run the Supra as a 2/3rd car and I don't drink (that much) and I don't smoke (at all).

 

But I do, however, eat a lot of pies.

 

I guess it's down to income and priorities and other expenditures. I agree with your figures though, I need around 3500 a month to have a decent life and everything above that gets saved.

I think it depends on what you call a good life - if you mean spunking a couple of hundred quid each week on eating out, boozing/clubbing, clothes shopping, then you've got got your priorities wrong IMO.

 

But if your bills are covered, then, why not?

 

I eat out twice a week on average (f'kin shows too)

And you can do it on less (just about):) Just priorities etc. If me and Helen have Kids though then yes, I will need to earn more to keep the supra.

 

plus side for me is i live at home and all my money is my own, apart from what i give me parents, but yes if i had my own gaff and kids the supra would just have to go :(

Could explain how you came to £3200 net and could you define a decent life?

 

Last time members were measured I think it turned out there were quite a few on minimum wage.
