Kim1978 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 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?

johnny g Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 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.

Ark Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Save up and be sensible. It cost alot to run and fix but at the end of the day, probably as expensive as a 15K car over the course of a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 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.
