<p>Think about the Ferrari problem this way: if you are a car lover do you need a ridiculously income (i.e. $10 mil) to warrant buying a Ferrari? There's someone living down the street from me who has an older Testarossa and likely makes around $250,000 per year. It all depends on what you want. Many people buy a car like a Ferrari or Lambo because they want an overall opoulent lifestyle, and the car is just an after thought.</p>
