The circles of longitude, meridians, meet at the geographical poles, with the west-east width of a second naturally decreasing as latitude increases. On the equator at sea level, one longitudinal second measures 30.92 metres, a longitudinal minute is 1855 metres and a longitudinal degree is 111.3 kilometres.
The median average insurance rate in the U.S. is $1,248 per year, which works out to just about $100 per month in insurance. Assuming $125 per month for gas, and $50 per month to save for things like registration and repairs, that leaves our hypothetical buyer with $277 for their monthly car payment.
Let's say, for example, you earn $53,000 and spend $80 a month for insurance â right around national median household income and average premium for a single car. Your monthly gross income would be $4,416, one-tenth of that would be $441 and the monthly car payment you could afford would be $365.
