I don't think there is a correct answer here because there are so many other factors involved. If you already have a collection worth more than $40K, then there's no reason you couldn't sell off items to buy a $40K card. Then your income wouldn't matter. If you don't, then you would figure out whether you could spend $40K based on your bank account and bills. Without know your financial situation and bills, it's impossible to figure out.
I'd say if you CAN afford it AND the card is worth $40K or more, then get it. Don't overpay if you're on the fence as to whether or not you can afford it.
I collect quantity over quality, so I've never spent anywhere near $40K on a card. However, if I really wanted a card for that amount, then I'd just sell $40K in cards. In the end, it wouldn't even really be a financial decision. It would be a preference with my collection.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
