<prompt> Human: Hey guys. So here is my question.I have a lease on a car that expires in October and my plan is to buy a new car once I return the car.Details:- Im 24, living at home with my parents in a house that was paid off about 6 years ago so there are no more mortgage payments. Also single. Dont really have any plans to move out anytime soon. Also planning to return to school soon.- I work full time job making close to 30k. I have been at this job for about 2 years, which includes insurance, 401k, etc. -Ive been saving, saving, saving. Currently have total about 23k saved up.- Credit score is in the 700s-I am not much of a spender:200 a month for current car lease.250 for student loans I owe about 8kAbout 1000 every 6 months for car insurance.About 100 a month on entertainment, phone bill, clothing, gas etc.I really dont want to tie myself down with an extremely expensive car. I have my eyes set on a Mazda 3 Touring which is about 22-23k more or less. My plan is to give 4k-5k as down payment which I have saved up. I also dont want to go for a used car.Your thoughts ?  <response>: I work full time job making close to 30k.No, you can not afford a 22-24k car.You can afford at most a 10k car.
