Salaries, A6 and other unknowns

Read the payday post again. I had dismissed it a bit and thought "just nonsense written." I have to correct myself here... basically, it only refers to my shaky parts. Regarding general income, etc., I also agree. Better to read it twice... then the more nuanced answers work better.

Good night

This has nothing to do with employee/entrepreneur status. The amount you can save depends solely on income & expenses. If I study first, I'll only get into a single-family house at 40. An employee might get there at 30. But the graduate might be finished paying off sooner and have a significantly better income "in the long run." Anyone who as a graduate "only" earns 3000 net...-> be careful choosing your field of study or just accept it and live modestly. For 3000 EUR net, I probably would have as a specialist IT technician (3 years of training... no studies, no high school diploma).

A LOT OF OFFTOPIC: For 30,000 EUR a 2-3 year old A6. Have fun... it then has 200,000 km on it or what? Hope you can/want to pay the maintenance then. 2-3 year old A6s in good condition are traded for 45k to 55k.

Even more offtopic...

Current listing, A6 first registered 2014, 28,500 km, xenon, leather, nav, quattro s-line... (So don’t say there’s nothing in it...) for 27,350.-€
Sorry if I ruined your illusion about the current value of your Audi

By the way, salary varies a lot regionally; in your area they wanted to offer me less than 1500.- net and even in Bavaria I would have earned less in public service than in the “high wage region” Saarland...
Besides, salary isn’t the top priority for everyone, but also work conditions, whether you find meaning in your work, whether it’s fun in general. A headhunter also boldly calls our company trying to lure us with about 50% more salary. So far he hasn’t convinced a single one. Choosing your studies solely to have the highest possible salary later only makes very few truly happy in the long run...

By the way, floor plans alone show the size but say very little else, since you can't see the golden faucets there. In this respect, I would be more interested in photos from inside.

Yes..ok. It’s true. There are vehicles on mobile at that price. They do have only a small engine and also forego basically any other equipment..but still available at that price. If the effect and "I really want to drive an A6" is enough, then that’s fine. It wouldn’t be for me..then I’d rather have a well-equipped Passat at that price. We bought our A6 out of leasing a few months ago and paid €50,050. Driven 60,000 km. That was a very good price. The new price in 2013 was however just over 100k.

If the impact and "I absolutely want to drive an A6" is enough, then that's fine. It wouldn't be for me.. I'd rather have a well-equipped Passat at that price. We bought our A6 out of the lease a few months ago and paid 50,050 EUR. 60,000 km on the clock. That was a very good price. The new price in 2013 was just over 100k.

As far as I know, the S-Line is not the cheapest trim. Sure, it can always be more expensive, but are you perhaps referring to an (R)S 6??? Ok, that one is rather costly to maintain, but the "normal" A6 is definitely available for around 30k€.

I have a "normal" A6 but Avant. I should have mentioned that. It costs about 70,000..80,000 EUR with "half" equipment. With full equipment it starts at around 90,000. (R)S 6 has nothing to do with S-Line. They start at 100k...130k is easily possible. But now enough off-topic
