How much to you make a year ?

With the price of diesel trucks increasing each year, I'm amazed to see as many people own them as I do, down here in Texas. With the average diesel truck MSRP in the $40K's, they are not cheap by any means. It makes me think how people afford them, and what they make. I see alot of average guys, driving $40-50K trucks. So I decided to put together a little polls to get an idea of what people make, who are buying these new trucks.

Please, this is not a "I'm better than you" thread. This is meant to be completely anonymous, so please just vote in the thread, and not publicly declare your income. Let's not turn this into a bragging contest. I'm hoping that anonomity will allow you people to honestly vote, and not make people feel like they have to inflate their true income just for gloating purposes.

Or some of us use them for Business, so we can use that to help pay for them

BTW, the business doesn't pay for BOMB's.....I wish I could work that out though

Never had a car payment and never will. If I can't pay cash for a vehicle, I can't afford it.

Yeah, but I don't like doing that...much Actually, stuff that I repair with aftermarket parts is paid for by the business if its a normal repair, not something I broke

It's not a million a year, but you'd be suprised at how well Uncle Sam pays. Everyone complains about millitary pay, but when you stop to think about it, it's good stuff!!
