Financial availability from actual RL onwer

It is kinda stupid poll but I just wanna research that actual RL owner's(not lease) range of income so who can support $50k car in reallity.



If you previously voted, you will need to vote again as the previous poll has been replaced by the new one with a new salary base. The poll is also private so the other members of the forum nor the moderators can view your selection

Might I suggest a couple things:
1. What about the people with under 70k income?
and more importantely
2. why did you make this a public poll? I am not sure if you are aware, but the majority of the people refuse to answer income polls - let alone public ones which identify who exactly they are.

I agree with your adjective description. _ _ _ _ _ _!

In todays world, most anyone who can sign a piece of paper can get a loan.

1. Reason I did not put under $70k because I did not think that in reality person who make under $70k may not support $50k car except person really want that car even though they can not support properly. Anyway I will add under $70k poll

2.It is my first time I put poll thread. Thank for point out, I wil change it.

BTW, I can't find option to change the poll, any idea?

I have merged the two threads with an updated poll including a lower income base as well as making the poll private so if you vote your income will not be displayed to the other members or the moderators.

If you previously voted, you will need to vote again as the previous poll has been replaced.

I am not sure. I will answer it now though. I cleaned up the thread a little bit - deleted a few of my posts so it is not so cluttered.

When you mean owners I presume you mean outright owners (i.e. paid cash) and not those what had to take out a loan for the car. Because there is very little difference between a loan and a lease. Also do you want family income or individual owners income; there is a big difference between a single making $65k a year and a married cople with kids making $130k per year.

I have no problem telling people how much money I make- I make more than a kid at McDonalds and less that Alex Rodriguez.

I consider my income what is left after the one college tuition and one medical school tuition is paid for the year (two kids still in school one graduated)... imagine what I would be driving if those *investments* were eliminated Just kidding, it is more than worth it

WhitepearlRL you are one hell of a great guy and cool dad from reading your posts. You remind me of my father. As far as how I can afford my RL. I cannot but my wife can. She makes allot more than me and is very generous.

Hondamore, c'mon, a retired fortysomething dentist...I bet you are one of those guys playing poker with ARod and even loan him some pocket money when he needs it.

Have you had a chance to try those Dunlops out in the snow yet this winter? I know its only Fall but sure seems like winter already. Lots of snow up in the mountains around Seattle area.

I feel your pain-I have one kid in college and another looking at a bunch of expensive liberal arts schools. I just hope I can hang onto my RL and still pay the tuition!

We haven't had any snow yet (knock on wood), the first time we haven't had snow on Hallowe'en for a long time and the prairies are apparently forecast to have a very mild winter. It has something to do with warmer than usual ocean currents. I will certainly post a review of the M3's when I can.
Regarding my gambling, I'm one of those guys in Vegas who plays the $5 tables, buys in for $50 and runs to cash out if I get up to $100. I have taken some cash off my golf buddies around the poker table, but most of them are easier to read than a Cat in the Hat book.
