Ummm…Middle Class people buying Ghiblis ($70K base to $100K loaded)…I don't think so. Most, 70% of the people, buying these cars are upper class people…maybe not the .1% used to buying Ferrari or Lambo but certainly the 1%.
well i suppose if you use the governments definition of "middle class" / "upper class" you are correct.
Upper Class
1% - $250k + annually
5% - $150k - $250k annually
Middle Class
Upper Middle - $100k-$149k
Middle - $60k-$100k
my guess is the majority of ghiblis will be sold to "upper middle", 5%, 1%. by government definitions.
i personally am in the 1% bracket, but i surely do not consider myself to be upper class. my definition differs from the governments definition i suppose. my family income might start off as 1% upper class, but at the end of the month, after all bills have been paid, (2) kids are taken care of, etc, i feel like im sitting somewhere in the lower-lower class.
i have a 5 yr old / 3 yr old. my preschool bill alone each month is $1800. in addition to that i also sock away $150 each week for their future college expenses. these 2 items alone hit me $2400-$2550 each month.
the government should really define these so called classes by "DISCRETIONARY INCOME" (money avail to be spent on non essentials) if they want a more accurate picture of what is going on. if they did that 99% of the world would most likely be thrown into poverty levels lol.
im sure everyone here can relate! but im going to shut up bc stuff like this belongs on a different forum.
to all the single / non parent guys reading this - if you have learned anything its that being married and having kids is like owning a lamborghini w/ a blown engine.
