In fact, if the wife's (an my) earning potential were not so high in the next 10+ years, the Z would not have looked so attractive financially. My income about doubles every 10 years, according to the record so far and the historical trends. Let's hope Bernanke doesn't inflate us or tax the max us out of the national debt (and housing bust).
Exactly! I make a ton less than you do and one of my cars cost about 200% what a 370Z costs. I also live alone, don't like to go out, and have no debt. It's about lifestyle more than income.
