To all the young guys... marrying a doctor is definitely the way to go.

If its the right one and she makes nothing, you'll be happier than just picking someone who makes cash.

My girlfriend, although she might as well be a significant other, bought her S this year. It was 100% of her income, but only 50% of our household income. My S is paid off. Her brother is probably going to pay it off, so there's no interest payment and a buffer if we ever run into unexpected circumstances. We both graduate in less than a year.
My car is pretty much my ONLY hobby except for video games. My girlfriend also is pretty conservative with money and buying clothes. Maybe once a month she'll spend $100.

Being married and broke sucks, although less than being single and broke.
We aren't really broke, but we are saving for a house, so it seems that way....

No. I meant what I said which is a home purchase being roughly double your annual household income. If you make $100k/year, you could comfortably afford to buy a $200k house and take out a mortgage.

keep it simple, it all depends on if you can afford it after your other bills, like my sister for example making 110k a year gross, she bought a 15k a car, and her rent is 450 a month, just gas insurance phone bills groceries and such, when you buy a car, you buy it because you want it, not for an investment, so the amount of money you're losing is up to you, "does the depreciation bother me, will it give me the amount of joy i'd like".

The girl I've been seeing for a while has an inheritance she cant touch until she's 30(another 7yrs). At that point it would have been an inheritance that accrued interest for 30yrs. Lambo, here I come....just kidding. I'm in my 20's and I think I'm still too young to be deciding who to spend the rest of my existence with..yiikes.

Congrats on the wife finishing schooling!
The original topic is also dependent on future earning power.
Some people have very flat earning curves. They'll start off at $50-75k per year and 10 years later, they'll be at $100-150k.
Some people like ace123's wife, may make $45k for 5 years... then make $250k.
If they spend 100% of their incomes during year 5... won't really make an impact when you take their medium-term earning power into account.
