What your saying is that the guy working 2 jobs, cant live the same lifestyle as the guy working 1 job, because he needs both his jobs in order to do so? So 40 hour a week guy can live within the means of 80k a year, but 80 hour a week guy has to live within 40k a year or else hes living beyond his means?

Again, you are missing Rampage's point. I commend people for working two jobs if they want to!

However, this is the timeline that Rampage was referring to:
1. Person works one job.
2. Person buys BRZ without really analyzing whether or not they can truely AFFORD the car.
3. Person realizes they can't and rushes to find a second job because they were living beyond their means.

Your scenario (which I have absolutely no problem with) is:
1. Person works two jobs to afford what they want.
2. Person buys what they want because they know they can afford it.

See the difference?

I'm done with this topic since I'm not sure you'll ever understand what Rampage's actual point was in the first place.
