<prompt> Human: Hi all.TLDR: Make 255k gross, think I have a reasonable budget, but unsure if I should go ahead with a 1k a month Tesla Model 3 purchase.LONG: A brief background on my wife and I then I will show my budget and get advice:I am 31 and my wife is 33. I changed careers about 4 years ago to Software Development. My salary progression is as follows: First 3 months 50k, at three months 53k, 1 year anniversary 54.5k, 2 year anniversary 68.9k. The last one I never got a paycheck for because I put in my notice the next day to move to Seattle. First job in Seattle 95k, 1 year later 98.5k. Half the development staff got laid off including me at the end of November. I didnt start my current job until beginning of March. I will give current income after my wifes.My wife is an Executive Assistant and has been as low as 32k but is now up 70k and has been at that salary for 2 years. Thats really high for her role short of working for a really large company, which she doesnt want to do.My Current Gross: 135k base, 45k bonus, 5k stock year one. Every year after that the bonus goes down and RSU vesting gets higher.Wife Gross: 70kTotal: 255kFor 2017 we were hit with a 6k tax bill so we are now filing jointly withhold at higher single rate. She takes out 364 each paycheck bimonthly and I take out 200 a month to reduce our taxable income. Since we both started working in March she quit her job in December due to a abusive boss we are trying to get up to 18k 401k so our take home is lower than it would be for most people. I also pay for a PPO at around 300 a month and do 83 a month for FSA. I am in Washington state so there is no state tax.Total Take Home: 11,296Below are the expenses in table format with the expense to the left and comments to the right. Keep in mind this will be Augusts budget and I will not below what changes or varies month to month. This will account for everything.Auto Payment2592013 Nissan Leaf financed at 8k. Owe just around 5k. 2 years remaining.:-:-:-Restaurants140This is a problem area for us. We unfortunate spend too much hereMortgage2,799Includes PMI, Principle and Interest, Property Taxes, Home Owners Insurance. Bought a year ago for 450k. Put 5.5 down. Redfin and Zillow estimate value at 560kPet Home Visits238We both work over an hour from the house so are gone from the house 10 hours a day minimum. Lady lets dogs out to go potty and play. 18 per dayPet Food Supplies280Down to one dog. Figure we have just a few months with him so we are giving him special dog food.Pet Insurance80This is essential. When I had two dogs I was regularly spending 1,500 a month on vet expenses and medication. Now I am down to 1 but he is still about 1k a month that we get reimbursed 90Veterinary150Typically this is way over 150 but pet insurance pays back 90 so it gets close to itAuto Insurance144Covers two carsMy personal100We each get 100 to spend however we wantWife personal150See aboveUtilities250Includes water, trash, electricGroceries700Yeah I know this will be said is too high. Our portion sizes are way too big and use meat in every dishHome Savings500Put in a Capital One 360 Account towards any house emergenciesGift100Either spent or added towards Gift fund for the yearInternet95Comcast...Gas Fuel80Usually it is 50 but wife is going on a road trip so its adjusted 30. We both take the bus downtown so our commute is just groceries and driving to parking ride. My car is electric and doesnt need gas. Obviously this would be a lot lower with a TeslaMovies DvDs17Netflix 4kHair52For me..Music15Audible Google MusicNewspapers4Washington Post SubscriptionMobile Phone114Tmobile planHome Improvement250Misc monthly to keep up to date on the houseMisc Monthly Purchases150Odds and endsTotal Expenses for August: 6,667Net Income For August: 4,629Remember that we are each contributing enough to get our 401k to 18k by end of December. My wifes paycheck has about 35 and mine is about 15. I know we make too much for a Roth IRA and we can totally do a backdoor Roth but I want to save a little in our savings to cover for the couple months of unemployment.So the Tesla would be about 1k a month for 5 years. I already have the charger at home for my Nissan Leaf so that wouldnt cost anything. I would be getting rid of a Nissan Versa which I dont think we would get much trading in; it has rust from living in Cleveland and in general isnt in the best shape but runs great.Why do I want one? I love electric vehicles and want to keep going with that. The Leaf is great but is lagging behind technologically heavily. And the biggest reason I want a Tesla, besides electric, is the autopilot features that constantly get updated. I test drove a Model 3 yesterday and it was incredible. Even while holding my hands on the wheel the whole time I couldnt believe it was happening. So in essence, the model 3 is not at all a must and more of a splurge. The advantage of doing it now is that I would get the 7,500 federal tax credit.My gut says the posters here wont be a fan but I was curious anyways since I tend to be more negative. Was wondering if I was being too pessimistic.Assistant: What is your age and net worth?Human: I am 31. Dunno how to calculate my net worth  <response>: Fix that before dropping a majority of your annual salary on a car.
