Wow, most of you are bankin'.
I'm 24, working as an accountant at the local utilities company while I work on a master's degree. I'll make around $37k until January when I start a badass job as an auditor with a national accounting firm for $50k+.
I've got no kids, and my rent is only about $530/mth WITH utilities.

IT Security
How I afford my TL:
Age: 22
Occupation : Network Security Consultant, I also sell on eBay quite a bit.
Salary: 42K
Payments : $328 per/month, bought TL used.
Insurance: $120
Gas: ~$100, ride bike to work.
I get looks of disgust all the time from people around here. Apparently, they don't approve of a young professonal driving a nice car.
IPSECTl----->>If I had a dollar for every hick that asks me what EP-SECT-L means, the TL would be paid off.

I'm 22 and just purchased a used 05 TL w/ 30k miles for 24600.
Job: US Air Force Active Duty E4
I make enough to afford the TL and have money to play with.
It helps when you are single with no kids I guess.
It’s hard to say how much I make since It depends on where the military sends me.
But in North California I make around 37K. That is being in the Air Force for almost 4 years. And remember my health insurance is all included, my net pay is all mine. Also I will be getting a raise when I hit 4 years and then another one at the beginning of the new year to combat inflation
. Oh and I am testing for a promotion to E5 next week. If I make it, that’s a nice 300-400 more a month.

My TL can do this, too!
Q: How do I pay for my TL?
A: Hell if I know! I got mortgage and daycare and advance college tuition for my kids. I'm being drained! (I think)

i know some people that make a few hundred thousand and won't even buy a NEW car....it's all about how one percieves the situation..some people go from point A to point B only.....while I'd buy a car that I can appreciate on all levels

I'm 24 years old and work in the Copyright & Permissions dept of a major book publishing company in North Jersey. I have a wife and a 4year old daughter. I have a '04 GMC Envoy with payments of $478 and my TL-S payments are at $645 for 3 years which is when I'll decide to get into a new lease or purchase this car outright. I choose to have higher payments rather than taking more money out of pocket for something that loses it's value as soon as you sign on the dotted line and drive off the lot. I'm not rolling around in cash as some here seem to be, however, living comfortable enough to survive each day.
