Grammar nazi / random tip: "how much does my life cost?" would be a better title. Overuse of the present continuous "is ... (something)ing", particularly with a postfix "now" is a hallmark of Indian English. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_English

You already know what your life costs (per year). What your life is costing in real time is the interesting bit.

PS: I'm the most Anglo-Saxon Aussie you've seen, I just wanted to make use of the 'now.sh' domain.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wait, your car costs $10k/year?

If op has a 5 year loan on a $40,000 car + taxes + insurance + repairs... that sounds about right.

I'd assume after the 5 years you still have the car, or at least sell it for something rather than scrap.
