<prompt> Human: Hi all,First off let me start off by saying that I love cars and I would like to get a new car so please refrain from shouldnt buy it or save money or invest. All I am looking for is feasibility.My starting salary including bonuses and what not amount to about 180,000. I currently have 28,000 in the bank from an internship after paying off schoolCould I buy this car without too much of a blow on my finance. I live in the SF bay area Not SF Proper, think San Joseish. numbers are appreciated :- thanksadditional details realized I asked for numbers and I didnt give too many numbers: I am completely debt free. I am under the knowledge of 40 of my salary going to taxes. I would assume at most 1.2k for rent a month for now. I work a lot so I would assume about 800 a month for everything else I do including food and entertainment sad but I dont travel. Retirement I have no idea hoping for some additional info from the wise on this one.Assistant: Its feasible, assuming youre debt free and know what your housing costs. Its a great way to stay middle class, assuming thats your goal.Human: you say great way to stay middle class. I know I am going against the details in my question, but what would you do instead of buying this car? the way you replied made me curious lol  <response>: I wouldnt buy the car. Its silly to spend that much for a vehicle when you presumably have no assets, will likely pay a 50 effective tax rate, and live in a city where vehicle ownership isnt required or that common. The car purchase isnt in a vacuum. Youll make huge insurance payments, parking is pricey, youre paying about 4gallon for gas, and youre likely shelling out north of 3k a month in rent. Youll either be owned by your car and will let it determine how you live your life or youll quickly run into debt avoid building assets because you need to fund a lifestyle that accompanies the car.
