How much of your net worth would you actually drop on a luxury car? Say you're sitting on $5M—does splurging $100k on a high-end vehicle make sense? It's the classic wealth management question: when does discretionary spending become proportional, and when does it start feeling reckless? The numbers tell a story. At 2% of total assets, you're arguably being conservative. Push it to 5%, and suddenly it feels different. Everyone's risk appetite varies, but the math forces a real conversation about priorities, whether you're building, maintaining, or just enjoying what you've already got.

Honestly, spending 100k to buy a car with 5 million isn't a big deal... The real issue is whether you dare to drive it out and get criticized.

Looking at this issue, it's a classic dilemma of the wealthy. They still hesitate over a 100k car with 5 million, I really don't understand... ngl just buy it directly, a 2% ratio is conservative to the max, anyway you can't spend it all, right?

5M to spend 100k on a car? Honestly, 2% is quite conservative. The key is whether this money is truly extra cash for you.

50 million to buy 100,000 cars? Nah, I think this guy is overthinking it. If he really had that much money, he would have already bought a Ferrari.

5 million to spend 100,000 on a car? I would just go all-in on BTC. People who think like that might have a problem.

NGL, throwing 100k to buy a luxury car with 5 million? That's just 2%. I think it's okay, after all, it's all idle money. --- Conservative at 2%, it starts to hurt at 5%... By the way, who are the truly wealthy people doing these calculations? --- If you can't even afford the luxury car dream with five million, then forget about financial freedom. The ratio isn't that strict actually. --- The key is whether you feel good at the moment of spending, who cares about the percentage. --- I'd like to see what happens to the 5% people later; psychological accounting is the real killer. --- It sounds very rational, but in reality, no one really spends according to proportions... it's all about mood.
