You should have a minimum of 30% of your income not committed to obligatory bills (mortgage, utilities, health insurance, car insurance, car payment, etc.).

Just money that you can put towards whatever you want every month (emergencies, fun money, vacations, savings, etc).

You should have 5-15% going towards savings/retirement alone.

So, $55k after taxes...
Maximum of 70% towards bills is $38,500 a year, that's $3,200 a month.
Minimum of side money is $16,500 a year, that's $1,375 a month.

Subtract your monthly bills from your $3,200 (or different number based on your % comfort level), then take into account the monthly payment, insurance premiums, fuel efficiency, and repair costs of a desired vehicle.

Sure, it's got a lot of space on paper, but you have to be able to fit shit through the tiny porthole. The ND Miata has a much more practical trunk.

What items would you be trying to fit in a Camaro that would make it's trunk less practical than a Miata?
