Show HN: Can You Afford This?

Clean, straightforward and to the point, not confusing, and it's not some kind of an annoying low-performance website.

Doesn't seem to require any special browser, especially not one with compromised privacy settings.

So it's really a better website than most already.

Nicely functional, but when you do the math if you're making $100000 you should be able to accommodate the $25000 Mazda; well you do return a Positive response here.

But it says:

> Possible EMI:

>$ 2217.25

> Min Required Income:

>$ 16667 /month

Which is more $ required per month than you're even making . . .

I still think you're off to a good start.

You should be able to tweak your underlying algorithms which is something completely different.

Plus everybody making the same money can not usually actually afford the same things. You could allow for a slight bit more user criteria besides currency and amount, to tailor responses according to those modifiers.

For instance, I may be an outlier, but even if I'm making a million my best instinct is that I still can't actually afford anything I don't actually need, or anything overpriced even if I have more than enough cash on hand to regularly spend more dollars on other things routinely. Always has been. This does not change according to income. My ambition lies elsewhere, luxury or not.

Doesn't mean I never indulge in something I can't actually afford occasionally, but when you make a habit of that it can be the reason if you end up never having enough cash OTOH.

You also have to be able to draw the line very accurately for yourself for things that are just plain too high a price. Or too high a price at the present time. This is the factor that I think fluctuates most closely with income level, but there are always additional things to consider.

Regardless, I do admire the acquisitions of those who are consumers of things they don't really need, and stuff like that, whether they can afford it or not.

It takes all kinds.
