Survey: What is (your salary) divided by (current worth of your car)?

Question

I don't want to know your salary. I don't want to know the worth of your car. But I am curious to know what the former divided by the latter is.

The reason I'm wondering this is because I was reading a personal finance book that said that it is smart to not drive a flashy car, however I do see a lot of flashy cars on the road.

It wouldn't be right of me to ask a question I'm not willing to answer myself, so for me the answer is about 13.5

Answer 1

25.25

Answer 2

me: >100

my wife: 1.2

Guess which one in our family gets to drive the new car?

Answer 3

30

Answer 4

My number is imaginary.  Since my salary is $0 as a mom, you can't have 0 in the numerator.

Answer 5

0 / 0 = 0. Being a high school student is great!

Answer 6

Salary divided by the vehicle cost at the time of purchase is 1.9.  Transportation is expensive and a car should be purchased according to what is needed rather than what is wanted.

Good luck and God bless!

Answer 7

3.45 - this equation doesn't make sense to me.  I'm assuming the higher the number the better, right?!?!  Maybe I was just looking at it wrong for a bit.  

Well, that book is right.  Unless you are able to pay cash for a flashy car you probably shouldn't drive it.  You see a lot of them on the roads because in general people are stupid and drive things they can't afford trying to impress the strangers driving next to them.  Seriously, Americans are impatient and think they deserve everything even though they can't afford it.
