Don't listen to all the financial planners. Get the best car you can afford and move upwards professionally. If a car can help inspire you and make you feel fulfilled; it's worth paying a premium. My 1M has put a massive smile on my face every day for the past 5 years and that in itself is worth it. Get out of lateral thinking and get into dimensional thought. Life is not just an exercise of financial numbers....

I'm not telling someone who makes $50k a year to go and buy a $50k car. But if you make $125k and are thinking $50k is too much for a car and you are instead going to get a $40k car——you are doing yourself a disservice and are disappointing yourself. Don't disappoint yourself. Instead get it and aim for professional development to follow...
Good advice, but isn't really applicable to the OP's situation. When you start using phrases like "to pull it off, I have to do xxx" then it's time to start backing away.
Well he'd have to share specifics of his income in order for us to gain and understanding of what "pull it off" means here. It may just be an expression; or it may represent difficulty. Hard to say with such limited information.
