<prompt> Human: Hello all,Ive been steadily and happily employed since 22 now 25 earning about 45k a year. Im planning to save up and buy a 60k dream car before I turn 30. A little about what you might want to know:I am a homeowner paying a principalinterestinsurancetaxes at about 750 a month. I have a current car payment that I pay 213 monthly that will be payed off in 3 years. I anticipate the trade-in value in a few years to be at least 12k. As for other expenses, Im a pretty conservative spender and pay on average 100 a month in electric due to winter mostly, 80 on watersewage, 100 a month on food gotta love that free moms cooking, and then lets just throw an extra 100-200 for the extra stuff like internetgasetc.What do you recommend I do to reach my goal? What kind of savings should I have set aside at the time of purchase? Would my loan period be longer for a higher priced car? I also anticipate having a promotion before that time that should net me at least an extra 10k a year.Thanks dudes.  <response>: What do you recommend I do to reach my goal?Save up as much money as possible.What kind of savings should I have set aside at the time of purchase? 60,000Would my loan period be longer for a higher priced car?0, because a car that price is outrageous on your salary, on anyones salary unless they make 200,000 a year, and unless you have the total cost saved up, you cant afford it.
