Absolutely impossible to throw out a number. Every single one of us have a different life situation. Even if two people make the same exact salary, one may have existing debt, student loans, kids etc. which would require them to make much more than the other individual with zero debt and no kids to afford a G8X. It also comes down to what your savings and investment goals are. When do you want to retire? I bet most of us could retire 10 or even 20 years earlier than average if we opted to forego vacations, drive Corollas rather than M cars, and use the leftover dollars to save 30% or more of our salaries a year. Me personally? I am 36 years old, no kids, no student loans, BARELY make 6 figures (but have a healthy 7 figure portfolio) and still consider my G82 purchase to be a bit of a stretch. I prefer to have a much larger safety margin than the average American. We're all going to have a different answer to this depending on our mentalities and individual goals and situation.
