Should I Trade In My Si?

Inflation also doesn't mean shit when wages haven't kept up with it.

1995
Median household income: 53,330
BMW M3: 37,950 - 71% of median income

2017
Median household income: 59,039
BMW M4: 65,400 - 111% of median income

The car got 56% more expensive.
Cars are more expensive now when you look at the real buying power people have in our economy. My parents were able to buy brand new cars/ barely used luxury cars every 3ish years while feeding 2 kids. I have 2 kids and can't do that and I arguably have a much 'better' job they had when I was my kid's age.
