Well money is always the object. I mean, both wife and I do well and are making close to 150k in both incomes and have no other debt except the mortgage which is less that $1,200 a month and have 7 years left to pay it off.
So I am able to afford even more expensive Porsche, but money will still be object trying to justify expensive purchase. It is slippery slope once you start going down the road of "which year or which model of Porsche should I get". You might start 986, then convince yourself that you need 987, then 987.2 and the next thing you know you are taking out another mortgage on a brand new 911 turbo. So I set my psychological (not financial) limit at around 30k, and will not go higher no matter what.
