a Honda Accord starts at $40k out the door today. The average home is quickly approaching $400k and is even more expensive in many airline bases. 100k for an adult person with adult responsibilities isn’t much at all. You can make that sort of money doing unskilled work. The post has been moved quickly and we as a profession aren’t doing ourselves any favors by admonishing folks who cant make it on $20/hr like we’d like to remember we could.

Again, why does the OP NEED/REQUIRE that specific $110K number?
Sell your F150 and buy a 1998 Honda Civic.
Take a home equity loan, personal loan, family loan, etc.
Cancel cable. Cut costs. Stop eating fast food and cook at home.
It’s just for one year. You won’t lose $110K, just the difference. So what, $20K loss? You will get it back.
Just think—you don’t need to fork out $10K for the type like 7000 current SWA pilots did.

Never in my life have I spent more than $5000 for any car. Always paid cash. Take care of them and drive them into the ground.
Cars are utilities, nothing more, unless you can afford better.

"It's really expensive to be poor" is true enough though. People making $30k/yr can't afford a cash car for $5k and get sucked into 7+ year loans for USED cars. Which they can't afford to take care of. It's a vicious cycle.
