[QUOTE="cowtownraptor, post: 237465, member: 6406"] Sounds like what I went through the past year to assess if I could afford one. Our income is comparable so I'll share my thought process. It was difficult to be patent, cause the raptor is pretty awesome. Things I needed to make sure of before I bought -high interest loans paid off (credit card, student loans. Etc...) -make sure you have enough in accessible funds that if an emergency arises that may take a whole pay cheque that you will not miss any of your payment (everything, not just car loan) -make sure you have a plan for savings one thing you have that will help a lot is that you stay in camp. I stay on camp Monday-Fridays and don't spend a penny. my costs are only on weekend when I go home . I targeted <40% of my income for bills, mortgage and car loan. This was my thought process and after about 9 months of getting things in order I picked up mine a month ago. Congrats on the job. The truck is definitely worth it. [/QUOTE]
